Grace covers where there are no laws
Testimony Time:-It is another Sunday and yes we have made it to His Presence again. But lo and behold, this victory was only achievable through His Grace.
Talking about Grace, through learning I came to understand that the very mention of Grace means "Gifts Received At Christ Expense". Let us now see what Paul says about Grace in his Epistle to the Corinthians.
2 Corinthians 12:9 says "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Grace and weaknesses can therefore be described as a battery with two terminals, namely positive and negative respectively. On this occasion, Grace supersedes and overwhelms genuine weaknesses. On the other hand, it must be noted that weaknesses upon weaknesses cannot achieve nothing in His Grace yard. Through the above analysis, a battery becomes dysfunctional when two negatives meet at a point.
And furthermore, Grace covers essentially where there are no laws. Where there are laws, erring Christians become guilty of the offence and they are convicted through the Spirit of such acts. (Romans 5:13 "New Living Translation Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break.") But however, redemption can still stem from that guilty verdicts and these would rely so much on being penitent from such misdemeanor. It is only then that the Grace of God can be abound again.
So, for how long are you going to boast of weaknesses upon weaknesses and still expect the Grace of God to abound? Nay, because once you have been washed of one sin, you are not expected to commit the same sin again.
As Christians we cannot claim ignorance of the laws because we listen to them more often than not. Therefore let us keep them so we can all boast in our weaknesses and thereby invoking the Spirit of God to rest upon us for His Grace to abound.
On this day Father, wash us so we can become Yours, build us so we can be able to stand in Your Presence and lead us so we do not falter under Your Grace. Amen
Just checking in into His Presence...
