STEEMCHURCH: GRACE

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Glory to God Almighty in the life of every believer that is privileged to read this write-up. It is a good thing to find a gathering of God’s people who have consistently nursed a sincere hunger to cause an effect that will turn around decadence in the world.
We thank you God because every parishioner of the great church @steemchurch will also be parliamentary members in assemblies of global impact.
God be praised.
It is a privilege to be here sharing the word of God with you................and I don't take it lightly..

Today, I will be talking about the topic we are all familiar with. Read and be blessed.

GRACE.

There is one enemy man has and the reason why it looks like man has many problems is not because he has many enemies It is because the one enemy man has is a tyrant that has one ungodly desire for dominion.
Let's settle the Man issue
These 2 beings fall under the class of what God referred to as Man during creation..God created woman from man but before the woman came in to the visible picture...She was in the blueprint of creation that's why she is a man...One major base to prove this is that a woman is created in the image and likeness of GodShe was not formed for man...she was formed for God in his design to dominate
*Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. *Notice God did not say Let us create men He simply said man and in the next statement he is saying *and let them. Who are the them? Male and female ofcourse
I would have loved to go deeper into that but not to lose focus I will run faster

Back to our enemy...

Our enemy is sin...
Sin-696x463.jpg
Sin is a result of the fall in the garden The consequences for Adam's disobedience is Sin
Are we flowing? Sin became man's enemy when the disobedience of man to God who we are subject to was inaugurated by Adam...

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

Apostle Paul was revealing here that sin gained entrance by one man...and validated the operation of death in the world which is suppose to be our jurisdiction of authority..
All men became sinners not because they did something wrong, but because the source which God designed all men to flow from became corrupted.. How do we confirm that sin referred to here is not deeds but a state of being..? Apostle Paul said Sin entered... He didn't mention any deed. He just said Sin entered...The moment sin entered, something we can call an Operating System. began to function.
That system is DEATH
IN+DEATH+Key+Art+1080.png
People don't die after this because they are old.. people now die because they are now under the tutelage of a system they didn't request for..
Because we didn't ask for the entrance of sin...But what Adam did brought the course of sin entering Into the world a reality we did not dream for..Death here means life outside the supply of God.
So you can be under Death and not be a dead man..
The system of sin so gained legal rulership in the world such that a child is not taught how to steal but suddenly grows with a knowledge from the inside that he begins to keep things that doesn't belong to him and keeps quiet about it.
You find people experiencing things in their body they never desired. If you experience this even after what we call salvation.. I tell you that you are not abnormal You are only facing a reality that's not real.. Even after our salvation...the devil who inspired the entrance of sin through Adam wants dominion..and so keeps furnishing his nature in you as though you are not delivered.

There is an antidote

Grace is that reality...

Why it seems we have many enemies is because when sin entered the world one thing it gained dominion over is sight - not your eyes. I see the Lord restoring sight.
But your sense of perception and ability to comprehend what has been delivered unto you.
Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Brethren, There is a death Christ died to free us from death of sin.

Jesus did not die because he was assassinated or flogged...Jesus died after through his suffering he corrected the wrong Adam legalized. What his death did is to avail us a ground...
I want to show you.
Can you look inside yourself and whisper I am free to do righteousness Here..

Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Jesus did not react to what was done to him because he was paying for what bought man under the tyrant called sin. After he paid, He laid his life on the cross willingly so that God would now have a legal ground on us His death completed it Sin has no right again..
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Me and you have been delivered from the life of doing good things to receive God's approval.
We are under Grace now.. where we live to please only God because we are dead to sin and made new
Read Ephesians 2:1 and 2 Corinthians 5:17.
We can only see people In true light and dominate when we are under Grace. The reason people use Grace as a license to pamper the dominion of sin is because they think we were delivered by Grace alone.
We were not just delivered from sin.. We also received commission to serve righteousness

2 Samuel 22:30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
22:32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
22:33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
22:34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
22:35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
22:36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

We can read through this chapter..we will practically see what Grace does.. He teaches us how to war after we are in liberty By him we face a troop..

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

How do we partake?

We are saved by Grace through Faith

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Finally

The secret of the power of Faith towards salvation is in Reckoning
1 Corinthians 15:2 talks about keeping in memory.. this can only be done if after we hear the Gospel reckoning ourselves in accordance to the will of our maker.

Let's us pray.

Amen..
