“The Grace, In Which We Now Stand”
Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED through FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained ACCESS by FAITH into this Grace in which we now stand. And we REJOICE in the HOPE of the GLORY of God. Romans 5:1-2
As we look forward to RESURRECTION DAY or EASTER, we SHOULD realize the immensity of what GOD’S AMAZING GRACE has provided for EVERY TRUE BELIEVER, those who have TRULY GIVEN their HEART and LIFE to GOD, and have accepted His Gift of SALVATION. REMEMBER: GRACE is when we are GIVEN and RECEIVE what we don’t deserve. Because we are ALL SINNERS, we do NOT deserve GOD’S GRACE because He is HOLY and WE are NOT!
Yet, because of His ABUNDANT MERCY, which is NOT GIVEN what we DO DESERVE, and His AMAZING, UNFAILING LOVE, we can STAND IN HIS GRACE. And we have been JUSTIFIED by FAITH, therefore we NOW have a RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD, who LOVED us SO MUCH that He sent His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to EARTH as a MAN, for the sole purpose of bringing SALVATION to a LOST and DYING WORLD, a world without HOPE or PEACE. So Jesus Christ, died a CRUEL, HORRIBLE DEATH on the CROSS and SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD for the SALVATION of mankind. So, it is by the GRACE of GOD through JESUS CHRIST, that we have GAINED ACCESS by our FAITH into this GRACE, in which we NOW STAND.
And we can REJOICE in the HOPE, which is: Something that is CLEAR and CERTAIN, but NOT yet realized. The ULTIMATE DESTINY of the TRUE BELIEVER is an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, and to SHARE in the GLORY of the ALMIGHTY GOD. This HOPE is made POSSIBLE through the LORD JESUS, because HE has SECURED it HIMSELF. And without the certain PROMISES of GOD’S WORD, the TRUE BELIEVER would have NO BASIS for HOPE. But PRAISE GOD we have been JUSTIFIED through FAITH and can STAND IN GOD’S GRACE. Can YOU stand in GOD’S GRACE?
If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are NOT JUSTIFIED, and you can NOT possess GOD’S GRACE, in which to STAND. Your ULTIMATE DESTINY will be an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. But God has a PLAN for your DELIVERANCE from such a DESTINY. You MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST for the SALVATION of your POOR, WRETCHED SOUL. And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for your sins, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. Then you MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. YOU MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL life-style, and TURN to GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and receive ACCESS to His GRACE, in which we NOW STAND. Do this NOW, while you still can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
