Topic: THE WORK OF GRACE (2)
Scripture:
ROMANS 5:17
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
GRACE is the difference maker. Grace is God’s ability in the life of a man to advance in the affairs of life. The kingdom life in a man is a Grace life. Grace is not a license to sin but the ability of God that empowers a man to live above sin. The law says, obey me and live. Leviticus 18:5 says “Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them.” Romans 10:5 say “… That the man which doeth those things (law) shall live by them.” But the problem is this: Who can keep the law perfectly? The answer is clear from Romans 3:9-23, that only Christ could fulfill every jot and tittle of the law. Grace says that whosoever hears and believes on Jesus Christ has passed from death unto life, John 5:24 this is a miracle that the law could not perform. Grace offers pardon and peace to sinners through the death of another-the Saviour. Grace says that those who receive eternal life will never perish, John 10:28. Living and walking in Grace is resting on the finished works of Christ. Living and walking in grace is living above sin because the urge to sin is destroyed through the work of Christ on the Cross. That is why when you live in Grace- You dont sin because Christ the righteous one and the Holy spirit abides in you.
PRAYER
I declare that I am elevated and redefined for greater works in my career, relationship, marriage and ministry. I will begin to enjoy the reward of my labor of faith in the finished works of Christ in Jesus name!
