Grace walk or run the race pace set for us all? Run!

1Corinthians 9:24: They which run in a race run all. Run the race that is set before us: Hebrews 12:1.
The race pace set is not any Ghost driven Grace Walk. It's a run that much more abounds than law.
Only a run that much more abounds than law's sin & death followed by hell makes it to the end alive.

His angel plays the last trump it

Race Pace Set Not Grace Walk, But Run:

1Corinthians 9:24 (The Race Pace Set is a Run!)
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all.
So, run that ye may obtain (the prize: eternal life).


Hebrews 12:1 (End Run is no Grace Walk)
Lay aside the laws (sacrifices) which so easily beset,
and run with patience the race that is set before us.


Only a grace "run", which much more abounds than law imputed
sin and death followed by hell, makes it to the end alive unto God.

The term Grace Walk is neither in the Bible nor salvation soundness
The term Grace Walk belongs to a minister: Steve McVey, who wrote a book about his own legalistic burn out: fail-u-are by law. The term Grace Walk is not found in the Bible, but perhaps it aptly describes the first part of Paul's conversion from Saul-->Paul. Yet even Paul of Saul-->Paul was still a "wretched man", and even Peter of Simon-->Peter was called "Satan" and told to converted, and when he got converted to strengthen (grace) his brethren, not weakend (law) them. So the conversion process is not just being better of good/better for some only, not a grace walk to a personal Saviour having partiality; But a grace run to what's best of (good-->better)-->best for all. For what's better of good/better, and greater of great/greater, can also be "greater damnation". Only what's greatest of three things never fails an endurance test like holiness with sobriety. Only charity thinketh no evil is greatest of (faith-->hope)-->charity; And only charity never fails to make it to the end of the human race alive unto God. The other wise: not suffered to continue by reason of death.
Obviously endure unto the end requires continue; And go on requires run at the race pace set. Doing the end run "with patience" doesn't suggest walk, as the race pace set is run, not walk.

A Grace Walk is still Ghost driven, not Spirit led
A walk, from Sinai to Zion, through the valley of the shadow of death, can get you as forsaken, dead, and not ascended as the Psalmist David. For Sion is not Zion in the Old Testament, Zion is not even mentioned in the New Testament, and there is both a stumblingstone and a rock of offense laid in Sion to watch out for, lest you stumble and thereby fall from grace or get easily off-ended by a rock of offense and thereby fail to endure to the end of the race.
 
 a journey through the cross. Grace Run is in the Bible, and perhaps more aptly describes part two of conversion (where the pace of the human "race" isn't a walk about your adversary walks. Rather it's a "run" along with patience, unto the end)...


Biblical allegories: Grace Walk allegory

Such is also from Mount Sinai to Mount Sion, for the Bible clarifies the stone [which] the builders refused (that) is become the head [stone] of the corner in Ps 118:22 -> Mt 21:42 -> Mk 12:10 -> Lk 20:17 -> Acts 4:10-11 -> Eph 2:20, is further clarified in 1Peter 2:4-25 as the foundation laid in "Sion" (not Sinai); And such is the "chief corner" ("head" of the corner), which describes a pyramid shape mouton, the top of such (rather than up right side of left/right sides) being allegorically God, or the "express image" (likeness) of God as a person, or God and Son as one, allegorically one thing of twain(law/grace): grace.


(grace) head
chief corner
apostles /\ prophets

Two Faiths: from faith to faith = from law to grace

Such is the grace of Jesus -> Christ (not the law of Christ -> Jesus), J->C being the only foundation laid (in Sion), the head of the (chief) corner (not feet of corners as apostles & prophets are). Further clarified is that peace with God is "through" Jesus -> Christ: the end of the law; and even further clarified is "that God" was in "Christ" (C of J->C: law abolished) reconciling the world unto himself, notably NOT imputing any sin at all (for only law imputes sin), not even to them (who did sin). Such is also the second part of: God concluded them all in unbelief, "that he might have mercy upon all", or "that God" of this/that Gods, the God of all (us all) grace. Such is also "the end" of: Love(God) one another, "as I have loved you"; the end of said "commandment" being three things:

(i) charity(greatest of faith, hope, charity) out of a "pure heart" (grace only)
(ii) charity(greatest of great greater greatest) of a "good
(purged) conscience"
(iii) charity(what's best for all of good better best) "unfeigned" (no hypocrisy)
No hypocrisy speaks of firstly pure wisdom from above in James 3:17. Selah.

Two Glorys: from glory to glory = from law to grace

Solomon clarifies embracing understanding results in thy head being crowned with "grace glory" (Proverbs 4); leaving no doubt the allegoric change mentioned by Paul The Apostle: "from faith to faith" (Romans 1), and "from glory to glory" (Corinthians 3), and from mountain to mountain (Hebrews 12), is as if going from law to grace.

And the latter glory of twain glorys is so exceedingly "much more" glory us, the former glory is as nothing at all in comparison (2Cor 3), just as night glory of moon and stars vanish at the coming of the sun of righteousness.

Two Mtns: from mountain to mountain = from law to grace

Twain mtns in Heb 12, but clarity which is witch, which one God & Son on. It's a grace walk from mtn to mtn through the valley of the shadow of death; And when established in grace, there is no fear of such a phantom menace. It's only a counter part in an allegorical comparative teaching "written aforetime for our learning" (Rom 15:4), to shew what grace is, in comparison to what grace is not: law. Point of The Shew: "with all thy getting, get understanding". Moral of such a good better best God Shew: "grace is sufficient" (no law req'd).

from Mount Sinai to Mount Sion = from law to grace

Many and varied are the biblical allegories, because many and varied are the aspects and characteristics of His Grace. One brother at Word of Grace ministries suggests it's as looking at a table, from different views, to see it all.

Grace Glory = The Glory of God

For example we have the story of Lot's wife, with the moral being to not look back once you begin your grace walk. Looking back, to what's behind you, like John did in Revelation 1:10-12, gives place to the devil (the law), and the evil thereof, such as great tribulation. Jesus Christ did not give place to such law (Mt 24:21), nor look back, but walked on through the cross to risen and seated at the right hand of God (Col 3:3), as Christ: the end of the law being what's right with God (instead of left and against); leaving Jesus of Nazareth: King of the Jews (allegorical for law) nailed to the cross at Easter; which is also when the only man called Satan was chained in jail for 1000 years as one day.

Which things are an allegory: Galatians 4:24

There many lessons in such biblical stories such as Noah's Ark, which reveals Noah got contradictory commandments from two different commanders. And Noah, who thought himself so clever in doing both all God commanded and all the LORD commanded (both grace + law), endead in the hall of shame with the other heroes of blind faith who all died and rec'd not the promise (Heb 11).

The allegory of Noah's Ark
So the grace Noah found in the eyes (plural) of the LORD, was grace + law; which was as saved + destroyed in Jude 5's reminder about the Exodus story. But "the grace or our Lord Jesus Christ" is not grace + law, rather it's pure grace, as is the grace of "the God of all grace" (no law at all), pure grace. And that is why the Bible ends with: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen." (which is the sign-ifying token, salutation of Paul, and not John).

The allegory of Jonah's Great Fish Story
And again in the biblical story (allegory) of Jonah's Great Fish Story, we learn "they that observe lying vanities (laws) forsake their own mercy (grace)"; or as Paul says grace + law(added) makes grace "no more grace" (Rom 11), and such perverted gospel (Gal 1,2) ends as bad as blessed + cursed = accursed (Gal 1:9). Paul also notes in his first epistle to "church" of God at Corinth (notably written unto carnal babes, children in understanding), that prophecies shall fail (as for Niniveh, when people thereof believed God and the no name king thereof disrobed and sat in the ashes, prophecies failed; so also all people shall believe God and prophesies of Revelation shall fail).

The allegoric Grace Walk of Psalms 23
In Psalms 23, the grace walk that becomes a grace run, from mountain to mountain, is "through the valley of the shadow of death", allegoric for thru the cross, and for through Jesus -> Christ, as if through the door, way, from one side (Jesus) to the other side (Christ), as if going from death (law) to life (grace). For "Christ" of JC is the end of the law, witch was a ministration of death to all. The exhortation in Psalms 23 is to go "through" the valley (not stay in it), which is allegoric for go thru the cross (not get hung up on it, for "cursed everyone that hangeth on a tree"), and not to fear evil(law).

To wit, "that God" (the only wise God of two Gods) was in "Christ" (2Cor 5:19). That God (of two Gods opposed about them) was in Christ: "the end of the law". He was reconciling the world (not some only nor any left behind as many deceivers say). And "that God", in "Christ", was "reconciling the world" unto "himself". How? By "not imputing their trespasses unto them" (which speaks of where "no law", there no transgression: Rom 4:15; when "no law", no sin imputed: Rom 5:13; hence no "sting" of sin: no death 1Cor 15:56; so where no law, no dead end). Selah.

That God, in Christ, hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. And the word, of reconciliation, such global reconciliation, unto God, is "grace". It's a hallowed name, a name above every name named, the name of God our Father, the name of Jesus Christ, and the name by which ye are called, to come, to repentance (a change of mind: from dblemindead to Christ minded).

Therefore Pauline Epistles begin with an holy kiss unto brethren all: Grace unto you, and (then) peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (notably both God and Son are on Sion). Pauline Epistles, especially Revelation, also end with his angel (Paul The Apostle, his witness unto all men) playing the last trump:
 
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
