THE SEED
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus-Rom 3:24
Every other religion, besides Christianity, has as its central tenet that man should approach God by his own actions in order to merit God’s acceptance and favour. All of these systems have the flaw that they cannot and do not function. No matter how far you’ve fallen into sin or how many times you’ve cursed God, His grace will work marvels in your life if you come to Him in repentance and faith. There are countless testimonies from people describing how generous God’s grace has been to them. No heart is so hard that it won’t melt if it gets close enough to Jesus, according to a saying that no metal is so hard that it won’t melt if heated to the proper temperature. Those who aren’t experiencing His grace are frantically fleeing to escape the intensity of His love because if you come too close to His grace, your heart will melt. Not just the hardened sinner, but also the “nice” person, forgets that we will all stand before
the Lord at some point in the future. People make every effort to ignore the reality that there is a day predetermined in God’s history when we shall be required to account for our life. Only the Lord’s grace will be able to save a soul when we stand before Him. We’ve already tasted glory thanks to the Lord. Those who are saved now contain His Spirit. Although we were unable
to earn God’s favour and forgiveness for ourselves, Christ did it on our behalf.
PRAYER
May your grace be sufficient for me and my family.
