The Gospel of Grace is the Finished Work of Jesus Christ. Grace “in action” was the Work of Christ on the Cross and Father raising Him from the dead three days later. The very sacrifice is the Grace we have. Peter and others also preached the same Gospel. The Acts are witness to people responding to Grace.

Surely you don’t limit the workings of the grace of God to what happened at Calvary do you?

I'm re-reading Peter's great sermon on the day of Pentecost. Looking for Peter preaching the gospel of the grace of God. looking..looking..for the good news of the Cross..the grace we now have through the finished work of Christ at the Cross..looking..it's not there. Read it yourself. Peter is NOT proclaiming the Cross as good news. He is indicting Israel for the death of Christ. 3:36. That's what his entire sermon is about. Peter is speaking of the KINGDOM OF CHRIST, not the BODY OF CHRIST (Acts 1:3). They are still operating in "time past" of Eph.2. Israel is STILL God's chosen agency in the earth: 1:6, 21-26; 2:14,22,36,3:25,26; 5:32, 11:19. They are STILL under the law: Acts 2:46;3:1; 5:42;21:20. Gentile salvation was STILL through Israel: Acts 1:8; 3:24-26. The establishment of the earthly, Davidic kingdom was STILL the issue: 1:6, 3:19-21.

When Peter finishes his great sermon, the people are convicted by what he has said. They were pricked in their heart and asked Peter and the rest of the apostles "what shall we do?" Here's Peter's chance to preach the good news of the Cross.

Then Peter said unto them "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast." HOORAY!! Peter has just given the "same gospel" that Paul and others used, the gospel of the grace of God...

Except that is NOT what Peter said. "Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38).

Show me where, in Scripture, Peter and the 11 gave the gospel of the grace of God in their sermon. They were giving the same gospel that John the Baptist gave, Christ gave, the one Christ gave to Peter and the 11...the gospel of the kingdom, for a kingdom of believers, Israel.

They are not the same. No matter how much a person wants to believe that. They are different. Plainly so.
