Sorry Guys, more like brunch today my computer was playing up, enjoy
Good Morning, here's breakfast.
Romans 5: 17 (New King James Version)
For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
This is one of my all time favorite verses in it we find both the goodness and the generosity of God towards us.
· The good news of the message of redemption is that if it took one perfect man (Adam) to get us all in to trouble (separation to God) then it takes just one perfect man (Jesus) to get us out of it. Offence and death reigned through one man (Adam) and we all by natural birth became partakers of it becoming separated from God and His life. But now righteousness has come as a gift and reigns in those who put their faith Jesus. In Him we find new birth and reconciliation and can stand justified in the site of God the Father having every sin (past, present and future) settled by His one-time blood sacrifice at the cross.
· Notice how it says "much more" Grace and righteousness causes us to reign much more than what the Sin of Adam held us in the captivity of death.
· Receive – remember it says we receive not achieve, everything we get from God is received not earnt or begged, we enter into all the things of God by faith and receive them as gifts not achievements or wages paid for things done.
· Abundance - today in Christ you have and do receive abundance of Grace (God's undeserved, un-earnt, unmerited favor) for every situation that you may face. Our God is the God of Abundance (Ephesians 3:20) and His grace is sufficient for you.
· Righteousness (right standing with God) is a gift!!!!!!!! And by it we rule and reign in life!
· Today again make the quality choice to turn away from trying to impress God by performance or earn things from Him to receiving by faith from Him as a gift everything you need to rule and reign in this life.
· Jesus has positioned you to rule and reign in Life though Him , GET UP AND REIGN!
God bless you have a great day.
