GROWING IN GRACE

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. (Rom. 5:9-10)

The blood of Jesus has saved us from our sins. Now our fight of faith is this: to walk in the Spirit and leave behind the ways of the flesh. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Rom. 8:14)

Jesus died to bring us life. Even more, He lives to walk with us in the grace of transformation. May I say, that by the sure foundation of Scripture, the Spirit of our Lord helps us grow up into our salvation. For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants. (Heb. 2:16)

The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. (Rom. 13:12) Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household. (Eph. 2:19) Child of God the key to growing in grace is this: (putting on the armor of light.) Have you surrendered to the Lordship of Christ, that He might work His transforming grace in and through you? This is how the armor of light is put on.

All praise and joyful thanksgiving to Jesus, who gave His blood that continues to cleanse us from sin as we walk with Him in the light, waiting for the day of our redemption.
