Introduction: Page 9


Paul fulfilled the scriptures, writing thirteen books of the Bible—Romans through Philemon. In these writings, we are told to study the scripture, to be Bereaans and come to the knowledge of the truth. 
 
Instructed in God accomplishment, members of this new Grace Church are by faith accepted in the Beloved into God’s family.
 
In this new BUT NOW Dispensation, man’s salvation is a gift from God to anyone, Jew or Gentile, who puts their faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Gospel of the Un-circumcision, the complete sin debt atonement. 
 
At the moment of salvation, God the Father justifies souls with imputed righteousness, the righteousness of God, and man’s sin debt is imputed to Christ’s account. 
 
Christ, who had not known sin, has been made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 
 
All believers can come to this knowledge and then reckon it to be so that they have been spiritually crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20), buried with Him by spiritual baptism into death, and risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised Him from the dead (Colossians 2:12). 
 
We are quickened together with Him, made alive from the dead, having been forgiven of all trespasses (Colossians 2:13).
 
With the full sin debt payment made through the blood of Christ, we receive the gift of salvation and the gift of righteousness. 
 
The Holy Spirit baptizes each individual and seals them into the Body of Christ, the new Grace Church. 
 
With imputed righteousness, we are now justified by faith, walking in newness of life, free from the power and dominion of sin and death. 
 
We are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places and freely given all things. 
 
We can now yield to the Holy Spirit and walk in the Spirit. 
 
The entire Godhead lives in and through each saved individual, and every saved individual lives in all members of the Triune Godhead, never to be separated from God’s love throughout eternity. 
 
The old man is dead and now we are a new transformed creation in Christ. 
 
We have been taken out of the first Adam’s family and placed into the second Adam’s family, God’s family. 
 
All things are made new. 
 
Now, we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, positioned/seated in heavenly places, and delivered from the wrath to come. 
 
Now there is not concern about going through the Great Tribulation that was promised to those in the Old Testament. 
 
There is now no IF-THEN principle found in the Mosaic Covenant. 
 
We can now serve this loving gracious Heavenly Father out of gratitude and appreciation for all He has done for us. 
 
God will have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
 
And today is a great day for the salvation of souls into God’s family and a magnificent day for the members of the Grace Church to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, to be forever with the Lord in their new home in heaven.

Introduction: Page 5

[LISTEN]   In the Bible, a dispensation is a unique administration; a stage in the outworking of God’s plan throughout history during which man is tested in respect of obedience to a specific revelation of the will of God.    It concerns the accountability, responsibility, and faithfulness of man to that revealed will of God, and is incorporated into a literal interpretation of prophecy and mystery in the Bible.    When we study in a dispensational manner, we can more easily see which of the scriptures are written specifically to us.    These dispensations, labeled in the book of Ephesians, are TIME PAST, BUT NOW, and the AGES TO O COME, which is concluded with the FULLNESS OF TIMES.   Satan’s activity will not be addressed again in this study and it is not the intent to focus on him, but to concentrate on God’s purposes and His great love for mankind.    Satan has only limited authority and is under the sovereign will and power of God....

[LISTEN]   This study was requested by and prepared for Gloria Pierce, founder and leader of our neighborhood ladies Bible study, and Rob Strom, both dear friends, as well as those who are seeking knowledge in Dispensational Theology and The Mystery.    Much appreciated is the encouragement I’ve received from Sharon Marosi, someone who challenged me to continue working on this study long after our neighborhood ladies had finished reading the incomplete original rough draft.   I would also like to thank my son-in-law, Jeremy Lucas, for helping to prepare the material for publication. Most of the content in this study is a reflection of the study, meditation, teachings, writings, podcasts, and prayers of the pastors of Fellowship Bible Church, Orlando: Fred Bekemeyer—Gracious, Teacher, Lover of Genesis and Romans, Holding fast that all believers in all dispensations are saved by faith and have eternal security, “God’s Victory Program of Grace” and that “we are living i...
