Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound....
       We all know the lyrics, but do we really understand the grace that Jesus has given to us through His death and resurrection?  Do we truly comprehend what He has done for us?  Do we  understand the new and better covenant that was purchased by His blood?
       There is a life more abundant available to believers.  We are no longer under the law.  We are no longer under the penalties of the law.  We are free.   Jesus purchased our redemption.  Just as Boaz redeemed Ruth the Moabite and she became his bride.  We were outsiders with no hope, until Jesus gave us hope and made a way for us to become the Bride of Christ.   His grace, His grace, His amazing grace has set us free. 
      Saint, you are no longer a sinner, but a saint rescued from the grips of sin.  You are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.  You are co-heirs with Him.   When the Body of Christ realizes their position all of creation will cry out because the manifestation of sons and daughters of God will have taken place.  Til then creation awaits.
     Church...it is time to know your position in Christ.  It is time to walk above the cares of this world.  It is time walk in the love that Christ extended toward us.  Stop wasting your time looking around and finding fault one with another.  Spend time with your perfect heavenly Father so that you can be so full of His glory and love that you can't help but walk in the plans He has laid out for you before the foundation of time.   There is nothing more precious than a saint who's face radiates the love of Christ.    Joy fills their heart.  Love, peace, gentleness, kindness, joy, patience, meekness, self-control against which there is no law, permeates their behavior.  Not because they've worked hard at practicing these qualities, but because they've spent time with King of kings who encapsulates all these attributes. Reveling in the grace of God and being grateful for the grace of our Savior changes us from the inside out.
    Jesus said, "Come to me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.  My burden is light and my yolk is easy."   There is an incredible peace and ease of mind when you know who Jesus is and who you are in Him.  You don't need to struggle, beg, beat up yourself or live under condemnation.  You are free under His grace and mercy.  Praise God!
