Receiving Grace


...much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Chris.   Romans 5:17

The Bible states very clearly that we are to reign in life through Jesus Christ just by receiving two things from Him: The abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.

God's ways are contrary to man's ways. Man thinks that for God to bless him, he needs to deserve, earn and merit God's favor and blessings by his own efforts. Man thinks that God's blessings are based on his performance and good works.

However, this is not God's way. His way is not about achieving, but about receiving. He promised that when we receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we will reign in life. He did not say that when we achieve grace and our own righteousness, we will reign in life. But for some reason, many Christians continue to live based on a system of achievement!
