Something About Grace

In order to be free from guilt or sin we must keep the 10 commandments perfectly. So how is this possible?  The only way to righteousness, which means to be right with God, is through Jesus Christ.  So, are the 10 commandments still valid?  

I’ve heard it said many, many times that teaching too much grace is dangerous. And the common argument is that it will give us a license to sin. Romans 5:17 is very clear about how much grace we need and why we need it. 

How do we build muscles? By lifting weights. You are literally tearing the muscles, and through the process of healing they become stronger.  It’s known as resistance training.  Resistance is also required to grow spiritually. God wants us to grow in faith, love, joy, patience, and godliness. How is this accomplished?

In this message I share something that’s very practical to help build your faith. The times when you’re waiting for an answer from God can be difficult because we tend to be impatient.  This will give you strength during times when patience is required. 

The bible tells us that the purpose of the 10 commandments is to show us how helpless we are without Jesus for salvation. Our sins lead us to Jesus, and you know, our utter failure to change ourselves should cause us to look to Jesus for that also. But religion teaches us that wehave a part in making those changes, so we’ve been blinded to grace message, and churches are afraid to teach grace because of what will happen.

Being re-born means that God replaces our old sinful spirit and gives us a new spirit that cannot sin. So why do we have a part of us that still loves to sin?  In Romans 7, Paul talks about the war within him. In verse 18 he refers to something that is important to understand, but many don’t.

This is about letting the Holy Spirit change you from the inside out.  This is where change happens.  Working out your salvation is cooperating with the Holy Spirit so that what’s in you can get into your soul.  

Proverbs 3:5-6 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean (depend) on your own understanding.”  Trusting can be very scary, so listen and learn how to overcome the fear of trusting.

Most of my life I thought that Faith and Trust were the same thing, but a few years ago I read a short article about their differences, and this really helped me, and I think it’s important that we all understand this.  

Our experiences, as a child of God, move from darkness to light. For example: We are born into the darkness of this world (because of sin) but when we are reborn, the bible says we are translated into the kingdom of light.  If you’re a child of God, every dark area of your life has to lead to light.  

I have taken the time, so you don’t have to, to organize a list of Bible verses on various topics. Listen to them over and over again. God’s word gives us permanent results. I listen to them when I go to sleep at night or in my vehicle during the day. At night, just lower the volume and let them soak into your spirit.  Make a commitment right now to get into God’s word in an effortless way.  Just listen and grow God Bless You, Leland Smith
