KEY SCRIPTURE: Romans 5:2 “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

The grace of God is a world of amazing abilities and potential that is beyond human conception. Indeed, it makes available to the Christian the very potential that our Lord Jesus carried. (John 14:12)

Faith is access to the world of God’s grace with unlimited potential.

Our key Scripture reveals that by Jesus Christ or through our Lord we have access by faith to the grace wherein we stand.  The supply of supernatural abilities for us to be victorious by grace comes to us by faith.

This is faith in the death and resurrection of our Lord. Anything done by the Christian without identifying with the death and resurrection of the Lord leaves him or her empty of divine ability.  Carnality is simply doing anything without reference to the input of the death and resurrection of Jesus or not recognizing that it is Jesus acting through you. **

In Romans chapter 7, the apostle Paul lamented about his failure to overcome sin. He acted from his natural abilities. He came to his wits end and claimed, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? He then declared his victory. ” I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with my mind I myself serve the law of God but with my flesh the law of sin ” (Rom. 7:25). He experienced victory when he had his mind acknowledge the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faith in the victory of our Lord Jesus is that which releases God’s grace to us. To be spiritually minded is simply to let your mind acknowledge the victory of Jesus as yours. Carnality is therefore to refuse to make Jesus’ victory yours. Rom. 8:6-8

Other fleshly actions like fornication, lies, and lust of all wrong things are all products of refusing to acknowledge Jesus’ victory as your victory!

As our key Scripture reveals the access, to this world of supernatural power and divine abilities to conquer, called ‘the grace of God,’ is faith in the victory of our Lord Jesus on the cross. As long as the Christian maintains Jesus’ victory in his or her consciousness, he or she will remain victorious in all engagements of life.

 THE CHRISTIAN SINS WHEN HE STEPS OUT OF GRACE. (THAT IS NOT TO COUNT ON THE JESUS VICTORY AS YOURS.  WE ARE NOTHING IN OURSELVES, OUR VICTORY IS TO COUNT ON JESUS’ VICTORY) 2nd Cor 3:5

 CONFESSION

My Lord Jesus conquered sin and death, that I might also conquer in His name. I fully identify with Him in His victory always so I would remain victorious all the time.

THOUGHT: OUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST IS ALL THAT HE ACHIEVED THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
