Book Description
Yield to Christ Jesus every day. It is not us, but in ChrPraise God for his amazing Love and Grace as he took me a person born into a world of sin, and in his love and grace forgave me and provided a way in which if I accepted his gift then I as a Christian born again in Christ Jesus and sealed with his Holy Spirit can return home to him through Christ Jesus his Son my Lord and saviour.And here is the amazing thing, he did not stop with just me, no! He, God has also forgiven every one of you if you would only but receive in faith his gift of salvation.In this book, we are to explore the wondrous grace, mercy, and love of Father God and of some of the blessings and promises he has given us as heirs to the kingdom of heaven through Christ Jesus.As with all authors writing on such subjects, it is important to check their reference material, therefore I have supplied as many scriptural verses from our Bible the Living Word of God as guided by the Spirit of TRUTH.I know in my youth I never had access to such understanding of scriptures, and nor did I have a book like this to guide me, had I, then I am certain I could have avoided so many mistakes in my life.Christ Jesus is alive and within us, and as we walk in his grace we are no longer subject to the law which leads to sin and death, as humanity failed to keep those laws. Christ paid the atoning sacrifice with his blood on the cross of a tree and there our sins died with him.Only it never stopped there. No! Praise God, Christ is ALIVE, risen and now glorified by God and sitting at his right hand also God made him above all names.Look at Philippians 2: 9-11 (NIV)(Therefore, God exalted him to the highest placeand gave him the name that is above every name,that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God, the Father).So, what does it mean to live in Grace? Let us take a journey of learning and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, as sadly there is a moving of Satan into convincing many, and who are starting to believe that in grace they no longer need to change. And they firmly believe it is acceptable to carry on living a life of sin, as God in his love constantly through the blood of Christ will in his mercy forgive them. Honestly is that what Christ Jesus taught us?So, let the journey begin.Romans 8:8-17 (NIV)(Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation--but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.)We are free of the Law and sin & Death and by GRACE in Gods infinite mercy are covered by the blood of Christ in the atoning sacrifice leaving our old nature of sin and death at the cross.
