Grace Abounds

Friend, we must examine our life from the point of view of our Creator.

Using no bias for oneself, we must be truthful and conscientiously judge our self; from the moral and Holy Scriptural stance; for that is our Law given to us by God.

If we are honest and harsh with self, we will find that we fall short of every expectation that a Good and Lawful Creator would expect of us.

Some questions to ask self are: 

Am I a believer in One God ruling over all things with perfect Justice?

If this God exists and He created me, am I a fallen from His Grace creature because of my thoughts, actions and words?

If He exists, would I need someone to cover for me in a Court of Holy Justice? An Attorney, an Advocate, a Saviour Mouthpiece, a Brother, a Friend?

Or could I advocate for myself, debating with the One Who knows all things?

Is there such a person?

In Psalm 130:3-4 King David questions The Lord, from the point of strong faith and belief in Him "If Thou, Lord, should'st mark iniquities, O Lord, who should stand?" 

Then David replies to himself and to The Lord, " But there is Forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared."

In the centuries before Christ came to pay for The Punishment of sin, humans had no guarantee that they were Forgiven because they knew that the minute they received Forgiveness, they were immediately sinning again in thought, word, or deed.

They couldn't walk clean before The Law; sin was ingrained in them.

What if they died before they asked again for Forgiveness of that latest sin; perhaps they fell asleep and died having no warning for last minute prayers? 

They lived in fear of what would become of them in the afterlife.

Now, since Christ came to save us; we have a guarantee when we accept His Sacrifice for us, and believe that He came as God in the flesh to make a New Covenant with mankind, that His One Time Payment would suffice for all of our sins, past, present and even future. We may live in continual repentance but we have the Assurance from God The Father; that He will accept us with the Blood of His Son covering us.

And by His Spirit He convicts us into repentance so that we are continually cleansed and renewed in that one drop that was shed for our soul.

The Spirit is our Teacher and Guide, our Counsellor and Comforter. He presents our prayers to Jesus in the Heavenly Language. He protects us from stumbling on the Righteous Path where Grace abounds.

There is Forgiveness in The Blood of God's Sinless Lamb who died on The Cross, and was Resurrected into Glory with The Father.
