Hey Folks,
I know it has been a while since I last wrote. Apologies to those who have been visiting the blog for fresh updates. I have been extremely busy with work and ministry. I will soon give you guys an update on the ministry events.
Im so excited about today’s blog update. It is written by Rein Cristos a dear friend of mine who was supernaturally healed of a health condition by the Grace of God. He resides in Singapore and travels widely preaching the Gospel of Grace.
So enjoy today’s word and be blessed.
Graced for Grace – Rein Cristos
Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more- NKJV
Years ago I used to think my sins were so sinful to the fact that God will not let me go till im judged for it. Eventually, it lead me to sin consciousness that i kept away from God whenever i sinned. If the sin commited was not so sinful, perhaps then I would ask for forgiveness repeatedly or pray prayers over and over again.
Looking back today, I am glad ive found the truth that has set me free from sin and being sin conscious. What I heard changed my life completely. It was radical change, a transformation.
What did I gain knowledge of? It was this verse, where sin abounds- grace abounds much more! Each time when I missed the mark, I begin to understand Gods grace was greater than that very sin I commited, therefore I would confess that I am still the Righteousness of God and Gods grace is much greater! As time went on, that very sin which I struggled faded away.
I realised then, the Law was given so that sin will show you up. Show you up for a need of a Saviour.
Back then being an unbeliever, sin was never a concern to me, because I never new God’s Laws! but when I was saved, sin became exceedingly sinful because I was taught the Laws and commandments of God and I would have not known sin except through the law!
Each sin commited made me guilty/ condemned and depressed, as time went on it produced in me sickness/ bitterness & anger. I went through excruciating pains, was terribly sick and vomitted blood for years and no doctors could prescribe or even tell me the cause of it!! The ROOT cause of death in my life was the Law!
The Law which was to bring life, I found to bring death!- romans 7;10
For the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law- 1 Cor 15;56
When I found grace in my life, it swallowed up the Law and the power of sin in my life, it brought me life. Grace superabounded much more!
When Christ hang on the Cross, every curse, every sin, and the Law was fullfilled by Christ, for Christ having become a curse for us, Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness. Thus a new covenant was made to Mankind, a covenant called GRACE. Whereby we dont deserve Gods goodness, mercy and favor but because of Christ perfect sacrifice, we are made Righteous, Holy, Justified by His Grace, redeemed and sanctified.
We are justified by faith and not the Law. For the law demands righteousness, but Grace imparts Righteousness apart from our good works. Our obedience today is completed in Christ Finished Work at the Cross, “It Is Finished”.
The Law even if obeyed righteously, it can never save you from sin. What a stumbling block to those who are still trying to earn God’s Favor and blessings by keeping the Law to themselves!
The new covenant stands on the forgiveness of sins that is FOREVER wiped clean- Heb 8;12-13. Grace that is much more, grace that is never ending, grace that brings life to the hopeless is found at the Cross, a redemption and devine exchange from God to men.
The Law comdemns the best of us, Grace redeems the worst of us.
Today, if you are struggling with any sins, addicted, bounded by things you want out from.
Let me say this, your sins are NEVER greater than Gods GRACE! because each and every sin is never greater to Christ the Son of the Living God that gave His life for your sins/ addictions/ bondages.
God loves you too much that He took your weakness so that you are perfected by His Strength.
God hates sin, but He loves you, thats why He wants you to see your sin on the Cross, cause when you do that, then simply believe and watch you sin fade away in the presence of Grace.
Believing right has empowered me to live a healthy, prosperous, righteous living that was given freely to me by His Grace and grace alone. May God’s grace teach you, guide you, love you, lead you to an effortless success, wholeness and to reign in life.
Graced for grace,
Rein
He will take care of the rest.
