The Death-Dealing Death vs.The Life-Giving Gift



"All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and DOESN'T, HAVE A CHANCE IN COMPETITION WITH THE AGGRESSIVE FORGIVENESS WE CALL GRACE! When it's sin versus grace, GRACE WINS HANDS DOWN. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that's the end of it.Grace, because God is putting everything through the Messiah, invites us into life- a life that goes on and on, world without end." Romans 5:20 (MSG)


God has called you and I to be MORE than conquerors-we are CHAMPIONS!We not only conquer cities, but we are champions of hundreds of cities.In Christ, we are FREE of condemnation.God didn't call to us to be perfect-He called us to do His work.
For example: this pen sitting here on my desk.It lost it's cap, it's a little lopsided-BUT IT WRITES.This pen is PERFECT because it does what its supposed to:it writes!!
Despite the screwed up circumstances we find ourselves in everyday, God has called us to a life of purpose! All we have to do is follow Him with all of our hearts, souls, and minds!This is so exciting!


I have made more stupid and irresponsible than I'd care to think of- but looking at Romans at it says that there is more and more grace each day, I look forward to hope and restoration. God I thank you for your peace!


So be encouraged there is no condemnation- but GRACE!!!!!
