Who Are You

"Shall we go on sinning so that Grace May increase?"

Romans 6 vs 1

Many Christians struggle to fully accept Grace - God's Unconditional Love and Righteousness, because they think it's a license to do whatever we want.

In truth it is. For by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour we are made perfect in His Righteousness; Guaranteed of our Salvation,and all the wonderful blessings that come with it. No need to worry about whether that sin you committed yesterday or which you may or may not commit tomorrow will result in God's displeasure and your possible disqualification from His love. 

But here's the rub; recognising that you are Unconditionally Loved and Forgiven by God for ALL your sins frees your mind from Anxiety, Worry, Guilt, and Condemnation. It is Anxiety, Worry, Guilt, and  Condemnation that lead to the vicious cycle of sin. 

The law (works) leads us to constantly focus on what we must and mustn't do. 

It's not too dissimilar to telling a child not to touch a fire. By that very command the child immediately becomes consumed with the thought of touching that fire; until one day he eventually reaches out and touches it. In the same way the more we focus on the law and our works, the more consious we become of sin, and hence the more likely we are to fall. 

Grace is Jesus. You have Grace; which means that you have Jesus. Jesus is in you, and you are in Him. By accepting the Perfect Righteousness He gave you years ago, you will no longer be anxious and worried about falling or failing again. 

Why?

Because you know that even if you do, you are Already Forgiven and will still be Unconditionally Loved. And with this Truth your mind is free to focus on those things that are pure. 

This is one of the many reasons why Jesus says "My Yoke Is Light."

Contrary to what many believe, Grace does not encourage us to sin. Rather, by enabling us to be conscious of how much we are Freely Loved and Cherished by God we are empowered to focus on things above, as against things of the flesh. 

I encourage you to say this short prayer today.

"Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for me on the cross. Thank you that All my sins were nailed onto your cross. I fully accept your Unconditional love for me, and I fully accept my Righteousness in You. Help me from this day to have more and more revelation of my Righteousness in Christ and your Unconditional Love for me."

The key to everything in life is recognising who you are.

You are a Blessed Child of God who has Already been Freely Forgiven, and will Forever be Unconditionally Loved.
