Many sincere believers desire to honor God, yet do so without understanding the dispensation they live in. God is honored not by sincerity alone, but by obedience to the revelation He has given for today.

In the Dispensation of Grace, God is not dealing with Israel, law, priesthood, or signs—but with the Body of Christ, through the revelation committed to the Apostle Paul. To honor God today, we must walk according to grace truth, rightly divided (2 Timothy 2:15).

God is not honored today by rituals, sacrifices, or law-keeping.
