Ladies and Gentlemen – GRACE is a Person – His Name is Christ Jesus!
.
There is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious Gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful Grace and His Gift of Forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ! And the result of God’s gracious Gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free Gift leads to our being made Right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful GRACE and His Gift of Righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ!
So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful GRACE rules instead, giving us Right Standing with God and resulting in Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord!
The Apostle Paul did his best to explain to the citizens of Rome how God’s unmerited favor works. The entire book of Romans should be read and studied as a contemporary life lesson. This is the Gospel of Grace for us today.
Many people have asked this question – How can a loving God send people to Hell?
It is true that we are created in His Image, with His Character and His Abilities, however, He also gave us FREE WILL in the Divine Hope that we would choose Him as Lord.
A better question would be – How can any right-thinking person REJECT the Grace of Almighty GOD-Jehovah and deny His Son?
Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word that explains:
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who does the Truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.
Lord, help me always to speak The Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but Your Truth!
Amen and Amen!
