GRACE: God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense
His grace is sufficient for me!
John 1:17 says, For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Mercy and grace are things introduced in the New Testament and it was brought down by Jesus himself.
In Galatians 1:6-9 we read how Paul reprimanded the Galatians for not living in the mercy and grace of God; instead, they went back to their old ways.
In Hebrews 4:16 we read about the throne of God. In a previous message of the series, we had called God’s throne an ATM; Any Time Mercy.
In Acts 20:24 Pauls talks about his calling to spread the news of the mercy and grace of God. This grace is priceless! It can save us from all guilt, sin, regrets and remorse in our lives. This grace will give us a peaceful rest. And we will be able to sleep through any storm in our lives.
Let us take a look at a few words from the New Testament;
Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.
In other words, the salary for sin is death.
We have awards in the world. Award is the appropriate recognition a person receives for his long service or high achievements. It is a form of approval.
Similarly, there are prizes. 1 Corinthians 9:27 mentions prizes - No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
A person is awarded a prize after finishing first in a race or competition. Now imagine a person without a prize or an award, they are given a gift and behind this gift lies grace. There is no labour, work, or effort you put in behind a gift. Gift is purely because of grace and love.
Romans 3:23 says, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Grace is God giving what we do not deserve.
Ephesians 2:10 says For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
What is Grace?
God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.
God does not care about your situation, He is here to save you from the situations in life! He is the Saviour for all the sinners. He came to freely give His forgiveness with his mercy and grace for all sinners to live a forgiven and renewed life.
Romans 3:23-24 says, (23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (24) and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
We should always remember Romans 6:23 which says, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.
Grace tells us that everything is done and we need to just experience His grace in our lives.
