It's Time To Activate Grace

John 1:17 "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."kjvlite

Point to ponder on: Grace is the gift of God not sent from afar but brought to dwell with us in the person of Jesus Christ.

Are you under the leadership of Jesus through grace or under Moses through the law. What did you do step by step to deliver yourself from sin? Was it your effort that got you salvation? How come today people want to merit their salvation. They want to do more to look saved rather than to accept and believe in what Christ did and being what Christ worked for. The dispensation of law could not produce righteousness that satisfies God without a yearly sacrifice but the dispensation of grace satisfies God because it costs Jesus His body as a one time sacrifice for all time-past, present and future. The truth is in the grace and the grace in the truth and that is Jesus personified. When we talk about grace we are talking about Jesus. The one who teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passion. Not by your effort or works. If we can work for our salvation then we don't need Jesus.

Grace is not a subject but a person and the person of Jesus. I am so confident this week that if only you will depend on Jesus totally and allow Him, His grace will work for you. He will make a way where there seems to be no way and go ahead of you to break down every gate of bronze and cut down the brass of Iron. You will not have to depend on your strength for even in your weakness His grace will be sufficient for you. Your winning is based on the victory He had gotten on your behalf on the cross and your success is activated through His grace. You don't have to be guilt burdened or worry about overcoming sin because He had overcome for you. You cannot conquer sin on your own without the blood of Jesus. He was punished so you won't be punished. He had paid the price for your sins, took upon Him your sins and transfered  His righteousness to you. Therefore, rejoice in His work on the cross and confess that you are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. You can't earn righteousness by works but it was freely given as an exchange. Christ took your place and He gave you His righteousness. He is still working in you to will and to do of His good pleasure, so that you can work out your salvation which is worked within you with fear and trembling. What a blessing we have in Christ Jesus. Only believe rightly in His finished work and enjoy the benefits of His grace in your endeavour this week. Let Jesus, let grace be activated.

Good morning. Enjoy His grace.

I celebrate you.
