THE MESSAGE OF GRACE
Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior, I am delighted that I am a slave to this calling and it religiously keeps pushing me to preach the Gospel.
I am so overjoyed because what I have cannot be taken away from me, it happened on the Cross , Since Jesus took our punishment on that rugged Cross, Sin has no power over us, and therefore we are free from it's power and it can no longer separate us from God, Romans 8:38-39 " For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." because Jesus took the place that Sin had occupied in our lives and became the mediator between us and the Father, he took that punishment of Sin on our behalf.
This is what Grace is all about, when you receive mercy instead of condemnation, when you receive favor instead of Judgement, that's what we have and the devil will never be happy about it, because he no longer has any chance to take you to hell, Jesus did it for us and after this he made sure it's announced public , so that it's on the record for any principality to know ,
Colossians 2:15 "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." For it was not by any way our own doing that we received, but by himself for himself, TO RECONCILE US BACK TO GOD.
It really saddens me when many who claim to be preachers of the Gospel take people back to practicing the Law, as if what Jesus did was not enough, I submit to you this Day that GRACE IS ENOUGH, NOTHING MORE , NOTHING LESS. We have been set free and the work of flesh has been defeated, Romans 8:3 "For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,"
Because of His love for His creation he couldn't spare his son.he let him endure pain and suffering .Romans 5:8"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
