Day 17: Amazing Grace Series - #5 Grace to Grace

 

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:23-24

    We all sometimes feel disappointed when we didn’t reach our expectation to a certain situation. But it doesn’t go the same way with God. After all of our sins and transgressions, we aren’t capable of entering His glory. But with His grace, we are all justified. We are all saved.

    We all have sinned in the past, and the enemy’s duty is to bring up that past selves and even regrets to prevent us from thinking that we are accepted by God. As others say, Satan knows our name and He calls us by our sins. But God knows our sins, and He calls us by name. That’s how He loves us. He accepted us after Jesus Christ paid everything on the cross, so that we can freely have a deep relationship with Him.

    We aren’t perfect and we make mistakes, but His grace helps us keep on track of our walk with everyday life. Always remember this: GRACE, NOT PERFECTION. We are justified but it doesn’t mean that we’re perfect. It just means that we are to do more works that are in lined with God’s plans.

    Spend a few minutes of this day thinking your past mistakes and regrets. You must reconcile with them and leave them behind and look forward for the new life that God offers. Let God free you from the chains of your past. If God can crush Satan under our feet, then what more with our past which is behind? We just have to surrender ourselves and accept the grace given by Him. We are justified and cleansed.

    Have a blessed day!
