With the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ begins the "dispensation of the grace of God" Ephesians 3:2, which is defined as "his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus"; and, "the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:7-9, under grace God freely gives to the believing sinner eternal life Romans 6:23 accounts to him a perfect righteousness ; Romans 3:21,22; 4:4,5 and accords to him a perfect position Ephesians 1:6
The predicted results of this sixth testing of man are
(1) the salvation of all who believe Acts 16:31.
(2) judgment upon an unbelieving world and an apostate church. Matthew 25:31-46; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 ; 1 Peter 4:17,18; Revelation 3:15,16.
(1) Man's state at the beginning of the dispensation of Grace Romans 3:19; Galatians 3:22; Ephesians 2:11,12.
(2) Man's responsibility under grace John 1:11,12; 3:36; 6:28,29.
(3) His predicted failure Matthew 24:37-39; Luke 18:8; 19:12-14.
(4) The judgment 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12.
Name
The word is in the singular, the "name," not names. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the final name of the one true God. It affirms:
(1) That God is one.
(2) That He subsists in a personality which is threefold, indicated by relationship as Father and Son; by a mode of being as Spirit; and by the different parts taken by the Godhead in manifestation and in the work of redemption, e.g. John 3:5,6, (Spirit), John 3:16,17 (Father and Son). In ; Matthew 3:16,17; Mark 1:10,11; Luke 3:21,22 the three persons are in manifestation together.
(3) The conjunction in one name of the Three affirms equality and oneness of substance. See O.T. Names of God:
