Romans is the key to Gospel! If I could
only have one book of the Bible, then it would Romans. If I could only
have certain chapters, then it would be Romans 6-8. The reason for this
is the idea of grace is very important to me! I've read these three
chapters almost every day of my life. Sometimes we think we can be free,
but we're not really free. We're under the bondage of the things that
we hold captive to. Whatever that might be! The word grace is used about
150 times in our New Testament. Grace is a gift. Grace is God Himself
coming to you in a personal way, in the person of Jesus Christ, to meet
you at the point of your need. Grace is not just God's loving
disposition or attitude toward you. Grace is God Himself coming to meet
you at the point of your need in the person of Jesus Christ. That's what
grace is!
Pastor Ron give us a new series on The Reign Of Grace at Maranatha Church in Stoud, Oklahoma. This grace series of messages are entitled: "Introduction - The Reign Of Grace At Maranatha"; "The Reign Of Sin"; "What Does It Mean To Not Be Under The Law?"; and "What It Means To Be Under Grace".
God’s law was given so
that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned
more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. So
just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s
wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and
resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 5:20-21 NLT
