The Grace of God is Iritual Guidance. So if somebody has the Grace of God, then they will Live in Righteousness, because that is the way of the Most High God Jah RasTafarI Haile Selassie I. It is impossible to have the Grace of God and at the same time sin.
As long as a person has breath, they have been given another day to turn unto the Most High God. A person can live in sin almost all their life, and the moment they turn unto God, they will be accepted. So if Jacob was acceptable to God, then it means that he turned unto Righteousness before his death.
It is a wickedness and disservice to yourself and all you tell, when you try to justify wickedness instead of calling it out and recognizing it for what it is. Because that teaches people that wickedness is acceptable behaviour, as long as they conjure up a way to justify it on specious grounds.
I tell everyone that if your brother, sister, mother, father, or anyone that is dying of hunger comes to you for help, feed them and ask nothing in return. That is Oneness and the way I and I should treat our family. And if your heart is low enough that you feel you must ask for something, then just ask for them to refund the cost of the food when they get their strength back, don't take advantage of your family. And if your father wants to give your brother or sister a Blessing, then feel happiness for your brother or sister, not jealousy, Live for God, and you will get every Blessing that is due unto you. Don't be like Cain.
Again, as I have repeated so many times on this forum:
Selassie I say,
By the word "neutral" We do not, of course, mean that abstention from political activity which has been for so long the hallmark of a Switzerland. We can no more refrain from political activity in the year 1961 than man today can voluntarily refrain from partaking of the radioactive fall-out which will be bestowed upon him should a nuclear holocaust erupt on this globe. Nor does neutrality mean that without taking sides, we content ourselves with urging that the powers most intimately concerned negotiate in good faith to the solution of the issues in dispute between them; we have passed the point where prayerful pleading serves any purpose other than to debase those who thereby abdicate any responsibility or power to influence events.
To be neutral is to be impartial, impartial to judge actions and policies objectively, as we see them either contributing to or detracting from the resolution of the world's problems, the preservation of peace and the improvement of the general level of man's living conditions. Thus, we may find ourselves now opposing, now supporting. now voting with, now voting against, first the East, next the West. It is the worth of the policies themselves, and not their source or sponsor, which determines the position of one who is truly neutral.
This, We maintain, is the essence of non-alignment. Those who would righteously denounce one side on every major problem or issue while reserving nothing but praise for the other cannot claim to be non-aligned, nor can those whose policies are shaped for them elsewhere and who wait patiently to be instructed whether they are to be for or against be called uncommitted.

This Teaching of Haile Selassie I is Iniversal and is a guide unto Righteousness.
It doesn't matter if a person has previously dealt with wickedness, as long as they turned away from evil and unto Righteousness before they lost their breath, they would be acceptable unto God. And turning unto Righteousness doesn't mean living without sin for a period of time until the next sin. It is a changing of mind and Irits where somebody has defeated temptation and heeds the Guidance of God. Haile Selassie I knows the heart and spirit of man, so He will know if a One truly turns unto Righteousness, even if it happens seconds before his or her death.
Here is a Reasoning I have made before
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody is free from sin, but that doesn't mean we can't be.
This statement is just a reflection of reality. Because if I and I look around us or within ourself, I and I can see that it is true that no one is free from sin.
But this statement shouldn't be seen as a limit. Because with Jah, every single one of us can be free from sin. Jah is capable of doing this. So I and I have to rise I and I mind above "try", and only see "do". Because "try" still holds doubt.
If our faith is that I and I ways can't be accomplished completely in perfection, then it will never be accomplished. But if our faith is that it will be accomplished, then this is truth and I and I ways will be perfected by Jah.
And it makes no difference how I and I lived in the past, because Jah forgives all iniquity of those that turn to him. The requirement of Jah is for I and I to live in his way, today, and in the future. He doesn't require this from the past. So as long as I and I have breath in our body, I and I is still given the opportunity to turn to Jah, and be One with Jah.
In Ezekiel it says,
---------------------------------------
Ezekiel 18
[14] Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
[15] That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
[16] Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
[17] That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
[18] As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
[19] Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
[20] The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
[21] But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
[22] All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
[23] Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
[24] But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
[25] Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
---------------------------------------
Jah has no limits. So I and I have no limits unto righteousness if I and I are with Jah.
