God's Grace is Greater Than Our Sin.

The law was brought in so that more people would sin the way Adam did. But where sin increased, there was even more of God’s grace. Sin once used death to rule us. But God gave us more of his grace so that grace could rule by making us right with him. And this brings us eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  (Romans 5:20&21)

 

God’s “Grace” Is Greater Than Our Sin.

 

This is Good News, Rejoice!

 

Grace – The ongoing, benevolent act of God working in us.  Favor unearned.

 

The Bible says, the Wage of Sin is Death.

All have sinned and have earned death as payment for our sin.

Jesus offered his death as payment for “all our sins”, as we Believe!

This is Faith, which will never disappoint us; we now have Eternal Life.

 

The Benefits of this Eternal Life starts “Now” and continue throughout “Eternity”!

Eternal Life is “Salvation” from the penalty, power, and presence of sin.

 

Let us develop a Spirit of “Gratitude” for the Amazing Grace that we have received.  Without this grace we would have to pay the wage that sin requires, which is death.  This spirit of gratitude for the grace we received will lead us to “walk in the light as Jesus is in the light”.  Now we can “Live” throughout eternity in Heaven with God.

 

Gratitude – Giving God Thanks. That is the fitting response to His Grace.

A thankful and obedient heart/mind is of great value and benefit to the Kingdom.

This lifestyle of gratitude gives us salvation from the “power” of sin today.

 

This Grace made us “Right with God”!

To be made Right with God permits us access to the Resources of the Kingdom.

God makes these resources available to us so that we can live our purpose as

Ambassadors and Soldiers of the King!

 

With This Grace.

Now the poor can say, I’m Rich.

Now the lost can say, I’m Found.

Now the blind can say, I Can See.

Now the weak can say, I’m Strong.

Saying these things “without” God’s Grace would be a lie, and untrue.

Saying these things “with” God’s Grace is Faith, and therefore, it is Truth.

 

We now Live by Faith and not by Sight.

 

God’s Grace allows us the ability to do 

“All Things” through Christ, for He Strengthens Us and He has All Power. 

 

A slick spirit might consider like this, “since God’s Grace” is greater than our sin, we can just keep sinning and He will keep forgiving us.  To that slick spirit, the Word says, God is not mocked, we all will “reap what we sow”.  If we sow in the spirit, we will reap life and it abundantly.  If we sow in the flesh, we will reap death in this life and in the life to come.

 

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we no longer “own” our selves.  Now Jesus, our Lord and Savior owns us.  This is no longer our body and mind; we sold them to Jesus for Salvation.  We now must do with His body and His mind that which he tells us to do with His body and with His mind.

 

Before accepting Jesus, sin and death “ruled” us.

After accepting Jesus, grace, and faith now “rules” us.

 

Ask God to Bless you with the Wisdom to

Live with a Spirit of Gratitude for the “Grace” that we have received,

And Watch What Happens.
