Grace keeps us walking close. its the only way.
August 23, 2010We are saved APART from our performance – a prison exchange has taken place. He takes our place so we can take His.
Roms 4:13 – we are saved not from the law but the righteousness of faith – what does it mean for us as we walk with Him?
Obedience of Faith Vs obedience of Doing
Right. Right believing produces Right doing and results in Right living
Obedience is the fruit, not the root!
The blessings empower us to obey. Rather than obey to earn our blessings!
Blessings under grace came first, this in turn produces repentance
Faith is not a work or deed, it is seeing Jesus!
His blood has qualified everyone of us! For eternity! To receive health and blessings, providence and right living
Rom 4:12 if we inherit the promises of God by the law (by obediedience), there is no need for FAITH! Its never by our obedience, we are trying to earn some we can never earn. Only by Grace, receive.
The law voids faith – the more we try to EARN it, WE lose it…
The centurian and the canaanite woman who asked for healing for her daughter are the only two Jesus said ” Great is your faith” what’s their secret? – its time to stop hearing! Its time to start meditating on His word! —- they are both GENTILES! (Both are Not under the law!! Not law conscious, Just JESUS conscious!)
Our God never downplays sin, in fact it is so great that God has to pay it for us.
Rom 4:16 — Therefore it is by FAITH that it might be by GRACE that the promise might be SURE — by FAITH through GRACE!!
Each time we look at The Cross, remember that it is actually the love of God paying for the Justice of God! Thank you Lord.
Devil takes the law and condemns us, to draws us away…. Grace of Jesus draw us back
Under LAW, the sacrifice is less than the judgement… Sacrifice is insufficient Under GRACE – when Jesus died on the cross!! The Judgement was gone but the sacrifice remained!!! No more judgement, no more condemnation
For every sin that you and I commit
He was punished so we will not be punished
He took our place that we will take HIS PLACE
He take our sins so that we may become the righteousness of GOD!!! Amen!
He received our sins so we will receive His righteousness!!
