Grace is not much seen on earth.
But we know that it exists.
God is graceful.
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
By His grace He justified us. We didn’t earn it. Because we could not get 10 out of 10.
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And now we are called to Live in the Life of Jesus.
He is God to us. He is gracefull and so do we need to allow His grace to be our new Life that is flowing out of us.
We therefor do not impute sin anymore. And the Grace of God manifests from out of us.
As Jesus is our new Life. We died. And we are now living the Life of God to the people.
And God’s name is restored.
Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
This is our calling . . .the restoration of God’s name.
When we are sanctified before their eyes.
And they will go on sinning . . .
Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Mat 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Only to give us the change to be “perfect” and to allow Him to sanctify His great name . . .by Jesus who is now our grace.
And thus . . .by the Life of Jesus . . .God’s Word to us . . to create that very Life in us . . .we will be “perfect”
