The Gospel Of Grace


Sin separates us from GOD. However grave the sin and however far the separation, GOD'S grace reaches us where we are. This gap is bridged by the LORD JESUS CHRIST Who came down to earth, suffered and died for the sin of mankind and rose again.
Once we experience GOD'S grace revealed through the LORD JESUS, we are saved from sin. We are saved from the guilt of sin and the power of sin to live a victorious life in JESUS CHRIST.
The LORD abides in us as we love Him and meditate on His word. We abide in Him as we walk in obedience to Him by loving others according to His word. Thus we grow in the grace of GOD and progress toward GOD in the knowledge of Him.

 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 
Ephesians 2:4-7 

 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 
Romans 6:11-14 

 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 
John 15:9-12 

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 

 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:14,17-18 

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:26-27
