413. The "Grace" Commission
Much has been taught and said about something that is referred to as The Great Commission... Referring to when Jesus commissioned His disciples to go into all the world to proclaim the gospel. Some of what Jesus spoke was specifically for the 11 disciples.
Unfortunately, at times believers have been made to feel obligated to share the good news in specific ways that can cause guilt and condemnation when they feel they are not living up to the standard or expectations they think God has for them. We can all be involved in spreading the good news but as different parts of the body we may have very unique functions regarding our participation.

412. The Accusation of 'Hypergrace'
The term "hypergrace" has been used recently by some who apparently believe that grace is being taken to an extreme. We address a few of these concerns from an article in a popular Christian publication. The first thing that needs to be confronted here is the misunderstanding that legalistic religion has clung to and that is the belief that the New Covenant is a more perfect continuation of the Old Covenant. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, this line of thinking will point entirely in the wrong direction and will lead to many more misunderstandings regarding the gospel of grace.

411. Too Much Grace?
When you hear people talking about the dangers of "hypergrace" or too much grace, one has to ask the question: How much is too much? Think carefully about this. Imagine someone claiming to believe the gospel and yet warning that too much grace can be dangerous. You don't have to imagine very hard because we hear it from people on a regular basis. Our thoughts this week on why the abundance of grace we have in Christ isn't the problem, but is in fact the only solution.

410. God's Gift to You (Obtaining Victory Over Guilt, Obligation and Condemnation)
Very few would say they haven't struggled with guilt or condemnation from time to time. But for believers in Christ, this doesn't have to be a way of life nor should it be. One of the greatest and most effective ways to overcome this battle is to grow in understanding our identity in Christ and who He has already made you to be. What Jesus accomplished for us goes far beyond just being forgiven. You have become a brand new creation, filled with His life, love and holiness apart from works. The Spirit of God is with you constantly reminding that you are His righteousness and are in right-standing with Him.

409. God's Gift to You (Has Already Been Given)
God loved you so much that He gave. He gave all He had to give with the gift of His Son. With this gift He has already brought you everything that pertains to life and godliness. He has made you accepted, holy, blameless, forgiven, perfected. The New Covenant will not allow us to try to make things right. He already has. Those who hunger and thirst for more from God can realize that He has done all that is necessary to bring reconciliation between you and Him. He has declared peace with us. Simply believe the good news.
