Difference between grace IN a dispensation and THE DISPENSATION of Grace! by Pastor Tom Bruscha

.
This is an amazingly interesting series, from which I must extricate a few gems that speak to particular things.  Through this sermon, I wish for people to understand something that makes for much contention for some: the difference between grace and GRACE!

⁵ And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

⁶ And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, 

and it grieved him at his heart.

⁷ And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created 

from the face of the earth; 

both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; 

for it repenteth me that I have made them.

⁸ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

⁹ These are the generations of Noah: 

Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, 

and Noah walked with God.

Genesis 6:5-9 (King James Bible)

One often gets the argument from those who are not dispensationalists that God has provided Grace throughout the ages.  As Pastor Bruscha explains:  

"There is grace in every dispensation because of the character of God: he is a gracious God!

"But there is a difference between grace IN a dispensation and the DISPENSATION OF Grace!"

In Noah's day to whom was God gracious?  
Noah and 7 others in his family!!

Today, in His Grace, He is offering ALL OF MANKIND the bounty of His grace!

This is a marvelously concise explanation,  
the very best example  
for the differentiation to be made!
