EDIFICATION COMPLEX of the SOUL # 4 (& COMMUNION) (7-6-25)

Some Axioms (universal accepted rule) concerning grace:
a) God is perfect; His plan is perfect.
b) A perfect plan can only originate and function from a perfect God.
c) If man can do anything meritorious in the plan of God it is no longer perfect.
d) A plan is no stronger than its weakest link. For this reason grace excludes all human merit, all human ability. Grace also excludes any form of human good.
e) Legalism and human good is always the enemy of grace.
f) Therefore, works of human righteousness have no place in the plan of God. (Isaiah 64:6)
g) All human good is associated with the greatest mental attitude sin of pride.

8. There are four areas of Arrogance which reject God’s grace. This explains Satan’s Arrogance, human Arrogance, why Arrogance is the worst and most devastating of mental attitude sins.

a) The Arrogance of the believer who rejects the doctrine of eternal security. To say that you can commit a sin that is greater than the plan of God is blasphemous. Hebrews 12:28.

b) The Arrogance of the believer who succumbs to pressure and adversity. He thinks his pressure and suffering is greater than the grace provision of God. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10.

c) The Arrogance of pseudo spirituality, the believer who thinks his human systems of spirituality are greater than the ministry of God the Holy Spirit. They believe that their sins are more refined than our sins, therefore when he compares himself with us, he thinks he is more spiritual than we are.

d) The Arrogance of the believer in emotional revolt of the soul who assumes that his feelings and his emotions and his experiences are more important than Bible doctrine — 2 Corinthians 6:11-12.
