JESUS ​​CHRIST IS LORD

THEME: THE TURNOVERS OF GRACE.

Beloved, we benefit from the grace of GOD when we rest the acts of our faith under the work of the cross accomplished by Jesus Christ. This is the reason why we are under the dispensation of grace (receiving the unmerited benefits of the Lord Jesus Christ); to do this, we must be aware of the love of GOD.

This does not mean that we have the license to do what we want (sin) under the pretext that we are under grace as children of God. And worse still, some Christians mix the two: the law and grace. This is not possible, since we cannot mix "blood and wine"; because we certainly run to our own destruction.

And the word of God reveals to us in John 1:17, that the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

And if we are therefore under grace in Jesus Christ then sin no longer has any power over us (Rom 6:14).

How then can we understand that illnesses, poverty, celibacy among others always threaten us? The reason is that we are under the law and not under grace because of what we do that goes against the word or ways of God. And it is in the way of praying that we recognize who is in the law or in grace. Indeed, the prayer of the Christian under the influence of the law is summed up in a prayer of requests, while the one who is under grace says thank you to the Lord for what he has done for him.

What we must understand is that in Jesus Christ there is therefore no longer any condemnation against us (Romans 8:1) because the act (the law) whose ordinances condemned us was erased and destroyed at the cross (Colossians 2:14-15).

This is why we are always blessed with grace and favor from the Lord Jesus Christ and prosperous in all respects in all areas of our life.

The only thing to continue to enjoy the undeserved benefits of GOD's grace is to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and the work of the cross in faith, because we receive everything by the righteousness of faith.

Let us remain abundantly blessed in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen.

Apostle OLIVIER FOANZ
