Topic: Perfect Grace
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Message
That is one of the most liberating verses in the Bible because it lets you know that your relationship with God is based on His grace. Christ died for you when you were at your worst and did not care anything about Him. In fact, the Bible says you were His enemy, shut out from fellowship and intimacy with Him.
Yet He loved you enough to give His life for you. It stands to reason that if you did not have to do anything for Him to love you, you do not need to do anything for Him to keep loving you.
That is what grace is all about. You might be frustrated right now because you are trying to “please God” based on your own good works.
It is important for you to understand that righteousness, or right-standing with God, is not based on you reading the Bible enough, praying enough, going to church enough, tithing enough, or doing whatever enough. Grace has nothing to do with what you do, your works. It is based solely on what Jesus has already done for you, and that’s good news.
