Acts 20:24
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
The Gospel of the Grace of God and the Gospel of Christ are one and the same Gospel. Why then therefore is it hated ? Because the Gospel of Gods Grace emphasizes that there is a discrimination factor in the Salvation Christ provided for. Grace has to do with Gods Eternal Election of Grace Rom 11:5-6
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Its specifically for a remnant of men, a remnant that God reserves for Himself Romans 11:4
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
The word reserved here is similar in meaning to the word remnant. Its the word kataleipó:
I leave behind, desert, abandon, forsake; I leave remaining, reserve.
The word remnant in Rom 11:5 is the word leimma and means:
a remnant, remainder.
Grace in Election means Gods Sovereign discriminate choice of some in Jesus Christ to be redeemed, saved according as He chose them for Himself in Christ before the foundation of the world Eph 1:4 !
This Gospel of Gods Grace is hated by men !
