Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9) not as a result of works, that no one should boast. 10) For we are His workman- ship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
e. None of us would have eternal life were it not for the fact that the Father sent His Son, and the Son went to the cross and was judged for our sins. These facts are commonly understood. What is not well understood is the tremendous grace ministry of the H.S. in Common Grace and His effort to persuade unbelievers to believe the gospel.
f. The good works of a spiritually dead person have no place in the Gospel. This means that both hearing the Gospel and believing in Jesus Christ are totally non-meritorious; there is absolutely no merit on our part to be saved, which is totally compatible with God’s plan of grace for the Gospel.
g. Efficacious Grace is the work of the Holy Spirit in making faith in Jesus Christ effective for eternal salvation.

3. LOGISTICAL GRACE
1. Definition and Description of Logistical Grace.
a. Logistics is a military word which refers to the military science of supply, provision, and planning of troop movement.
b. Logistics is a technical military term for sustaining troops in every form of military activity and maneuver, i.e., in the barracks, in the field, in the battle, before the battle, and after the battle.
c. From this military nomenclature, comes the doctrine of Logistical Grace that depends on God, not on us. This means that we should not get nervous or be afraid of not having everything we need. Every believer is alive today because of logistical grace.
d. Logistical grace is divine planning, divine support, divine provision, and divine blessing for the execution of God’s plan by the Royal Family for the fulfillment of God’s will, purpose, and plan for our life.
e. Logistical grace includes three factors of divine provision.
1. support is provided for every Church Age believer. This explains how and why we are alive every moment. The only reason we are alive is because God provides logistical grace until He takes us home. We do not or deserve it; there’s no work we can accomplish to keep ourselves alive.
2. Blessing is provided for every Church Age believer, both winners and losers. God sends life support and blessing to the indwelling righteousness of God in both winners and losers. This emphasizes grace. You are alive only because of the grace of God, not because of anything we do.
3. God’s Logistical Grace provides every Church Age believer everything that is needed, including your right pastor-teacher. If you persist in positive volition, you will find doctrine and your pastor-teacher who is prepared.

1 Peter 5:2-3 …shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; 3) nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.
