GRACE APPROVED YOU

“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”

Romans 3:24.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Those who are in Christ can never be condemned.

A man who is redeemed is not condemned. Redemption is a death to life experience. It is the guarantee from condemnation. Romans 8:1 say, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit”. Even at the fall of man, God never cursed man because man is redeemable by nature rather, he cursed the ground (Genesis 3:17). Man had the nature of God at work in him. The nature of God is eternal life and eternal life cannot be judged. Eternal life is the life of God in a man. This eternal life was sent in the person of Jesus (John 17:3). 

Eternal life is transferable from Christ only to those who believe in Him. “For whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:17). The confession and belief that Christ was raised up from the dead is what moves a man from death to eternal life. “For if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9). For you to pass from death to life, you need to have an honest belief in the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. It is in these that you are redeemed and it is this redemption that guarantees your justification.

The work of Grace is possible only because Christ made Himself available. But this work of Grace is only effective and activated when your belief is in place. You cannot be justified by grace until you believe in the capacity of that grace to justify you. The grace to justify is available for all men (Titus 2:11). But it takes only an honest belief in the birth, suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the wonders of that grace to be activated in you. Until your belief system is established in Christ, you cannot be justified by grace.

INSTRUCTION: Stay in the grace that found you.

PRAYER:  Lord, I maximise the grace made available for me in Christ, in Jesus name!

QUOTE: The work of grace is possible only because Christ made Himself available.
