God's Wonderful Grace

"So just as sin ruled over all people

and brought them to death,

now God's wonderful grace rules instead,

giving us right standing with God

and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Romans 4:21 NLT

What is it that burdens you?  Guilt over past failures and reckless living?  Bondage to harmful habits?  Imperfections that plague you?  Frustration over your inability to do the right thing?  Physical infirmities?  Selfishness?  Addictions to drugs, alcohol, food, work, exercise or anything else?  Lust?  Do you feel you can never be free, that your particular brand of sin or the horrible consequences of living in a broken world is what defines you?  A diabetic, a divorcee, an adulterer, a liar, a failure, an addict, a sinner?

Let me introduce you to grace: God's wonderful grace that sets you free from such heavy loads (Matthew 11:28-30).  How can you be a recipient of such a gift?  By turning away from all these futile ways of living that leave us empty and turning toward the Savior, the One who took our sin upon Himself, dying on the cross in order to satisfy the justice of a righteous and holy God (Romans 3:21-28).  As He gave His life, the penalty for our sin was paid and those who believe are made right with God.  No longer does our sin condemn us (Romans 8:1-4, John 3:18).  We live as those who are free.  And when Jesus sets one free, he is free indeed (John 8:34-36)!

Don't wait another day.  Find the liberty that is found in God's wonderful grace.  In the quiet of your heart submit your life to Him through repentance and faith in Jesus and discover how to approach the One who loves you perfectly as a flawless child, and receive all the grace and mercy you could ever need (Hebrews 4:16)!

In Christ you are a new creation, and in His grace you are free of the old you (2 Corinthians 5:17).  It's time to begin your life anew; your life in the wonderful grace of God!
