When I think of my spiritual condition; I think about God's grace.
I don't deserve it, but I got it (so did you) because God loves us that much.
My question for us; Are we standing in this grace today?
In Romans 5:1-11 the Apostle Paul answers the question:
"What does standing in the grace of God mean for us today? I want to list seven spiritual blessings of standing in the grace of God, that Paul presents in this passage of Scripture.
1. Peace with God (v.1)
2. Access to God (v.2)
3. A glorious hope (v.2)
4. Christian Character (vv.3-4)
5. God's love within (vv.5-8)
6. Salvation from future wrath (vv.9-10)
7. Reconciliation with God (v.11)
An old Indian, after living many years in sin, was led to Christ by a missionary. Friends asked him to explain the change in his life. Reaching down, he picked up a little worm and placed it on a pile of leaves.
Then touching a match to the leaves, he watched them smolder and burst into flames. As the flames worked their way up to the center where the worm lay, the old chief suddenly plunged his hand into the center of the burning pile, and snatched out the worm. Holding the worm gently in his hand, he gave testimony to the grace of God by saying: "Me...THAT WORM!" Those are strong words to describe us as sinners, but Oh how wonderful and precious the grace of God.
"O precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus." Today, receive Jesus as your Savior, and stand in the wonderful, eternal, grace of God. (GP)
