“But where sin abounded, grace abounded more” Romans 5:20-21
God defined sin by giving Moses the law. The law was designed to show humanity the righteousness of God and the fallacy of man. No one can keep the laws of God and all will perish.
The love of God for humanity created a resolution to this conflict. God sent Jesus, His son, to the earth to be a sacrifice for sin and to offer all the gift of salvation.
Sin abounds because all humanity was born with an inner nature to defy God and live for self. And, there is no way to correct this behavior. All humanity is doomed.
The love of God can forgive all sin and transform a believer into the character of Jesus.
This transformation requires a voluntary decision to live for Jesus above all else.
This is a commitment from the heart to follow Jesus not religion.
The red flag is most people make a partial decision to live for Jesus. This might be ten, twenty or fifty percent their life.
This leaves the door open for sin and denigrates the process of sanctification.
If a believer wants the fullness of Jesus he must devote one hundred per cent of his life to the Lord. He must turn away from the darkness of the world and seek the values of Jesus.
God is not looking for perfection but a willing heart to change.
The gift of eternal life is a command to die to self and live for Jesus.
Seek the blood of Christ for repentance and forgiveness.
Walk by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.
Give Jesus all and He will give you all of His life.
He lives so you can live!
