John 1:17 NKJV - Razor Planet



The POWER of GraceWe are saved by GRACE!Acts 15: 7-11?And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.?8So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,?9?and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.?10?Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear??11?But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ?we shall be saved in the same manner as they."?NKJVGalatians 5: 2-4?Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.?3?And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.?4?You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. NKJVYou are either saved by your righteousness or His righteousness. You either lean into how well you have lived sinlessly or how well Jesus lived sinlessly.Genesis 6: 8 But, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. NKJV?Grace is a gift. As we receive that gift, it is like a something plowing a big whole in our lives for all the other gifts to be received afterward.2. So, we can be led by GRACEI Timothy 1: 2?To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.?NKJVGrace goes BEFORE us. (Getting what you did not deserve) Grace is the starting point in our spiritual walk. It is FIRST AND NEVER RELIQUICES THAT POSITION. We may ignore it but it is always guiding us.Current in the air and in the sea.Mercy and goodness follow BEHIND us. (Not getting what you did deserve) Psalm 23:6 Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Peace remains WITH us. Peace is a state of tranquility. It is an exemption from the rage and havoc of war.These are supernatural endowments from God; not a condition we create!3. So, we can become administers of God’s GRACEEphesians 3: 1-2?For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner?of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles--?2?Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me?for you, NIVShould we keep on sinning, NO! Grace must get through us.Discernment does not change the way we love someone, judgment does!Romans 5: 12-21?Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--?13?(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.?14?Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.?15?But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.?16?And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.?17?For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)?18?Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.?19?For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.?20?Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,?21?so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. NKJVSurely Mercy and grace will follow you all the days of your life.Grace means that all of your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame.John 1:17 NKJVFor the law was given through Moses, but?grace?and truth came through Jesus Christ.Galatians 2: 15-21?We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,?16?knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.?17?But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!?18?For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.?19?For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God.?20?I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.?21?I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain." NKJVDiscernment doesn’t change the way you love someone; judgment does.End with the words from Amazing Grace(One verse says) It was Grace that taught my heart to fear.?And Grace, my fears relieved.?How precious did that Grace appear?The hour I first believed.Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;?It is Grace that brought me safe thus far? and Grace will lead me home.Romans 5:20 NIVThe law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased,?grace?increased all the more, ................
