Access into grace.


“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:1-2(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we see that through our Lord Jesus Christ, we have access by faith into the grace of God. Therefore, as a result of our faith in Jesus Christ, we have found favour with God. We are accepted by the Father because of our faith in Jesus. We now have a right to all the blessings in the New Testament because we have come to know Christ. What an amazing grace, it reaches beyond the limits of human kindness.

Christianity is the unfolding of how much love the Father has demonstrated to mankind through the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the proclamation of how much love the Father has lavished on us. It is being welcomed into the Father's presence as though you have never sinned. That is love at its limits. This is extravagant grace.

When we come to the full understanding of the riches of grace the Father has lavished on us at the new birth, we will be full of thanks. Our eyes will be flooded with the tears of joy. Our lips will be filled with singing and our hearts thrilled with gladness. We will never know one down day when we taste the reality of God's extravagant grace.

What an amazing grace. Knowing that I have been made righteous (justified) because of my faith in Jesus Christ. Now, God calls me righteous because His righteousness has been lavished on me through faith in Christ. Romans 3:22 says, “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:”    

CONFESSION
Faith in God's grace has made me the righteousness of God in Christ. I have been justified freely by the grace which is in Christ Jesus. Thank you Father for your extravagant grace and your limitless love towards me by the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, I am free from the law of sin and death. Amen.

For further study read: 
Ephesians 2:4-10, Ephesians 3:11-12, Romans 2:24.

DOING THE WORD
Maintain your confidence in the grace of God through faith.
