October Topic: Grace |
As it is not until we have a deep appreciation of what GRACE is and means, that we really come into the full liberty in Christ that we have been purchased to experience, let's take this month to explore some of its depths and treasures. |
Romans 5:21
JUST AS SIN REIGNED IN DEATH, SO ALSO GRACE MIGHT REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BRING ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
"The wages of sin is death" - so sin reigns in death.
The prize and free gift of grace is righteousness. So grace reigns through righteousness, which brings us Eternal Life through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sin brings the fear of death. Grace brings the joy of a life of righteousness. Sin and death are what we earn. They are our right - they are ours from birth and we revel in them until the grace of God becomes attractive to us.
Our natural, carnal desire is towards darkness and death - we have an in-built bias towards them, just as obvious as is the bias in a bowling ball. Similarly we seem to have as much control over it as does the ball itself.
Then through the darkness, or through the mist, shines the first shaft of the brightness of the grace of God and we become attracted to its warmth and light. We learn that there is hope, forgiveness, and freedom through that grace which is freely offered to us.
All the negativity, all the pain, all the doubt, and all the fear that had dogged our pathway, suddenly starts to disappear into the mist where it belongs, and as we emerge into the sunshine of His grace, we find that in its place, the peace of God and the righteousness of God cause us to experience freedom, cleansing and a new quality of life - known only to the followers, the disciples of Jesus Christ - none other than Eternal Life, that new dimension of the Holy Spirit.
We were slaves to sin and death but reign through the righteousness of God, won for us by Christ Jesus our Lord.
Today, is a day for you to reign - not for you to stay a slave because of your failure. No! Reign through righteousness - not because of who you are, but through the Grace of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
