INTRODUCTION
Grace is God's designed agenda to bring forth victory and
freedom to mankind. The Grace-agenda was introduced by God immediately Adam and
Eve fell from the realm of God's glory. The Jehovah's declaration, immediately
man fell, that the serpent would bruise the heel of the woman's seed ( the
second Adam, Christ Jesus) refers to the death and crucifixion of Christ,
while, the subsequent pronouncement that seed of the woman( Christ Jesus) also
would bruise the serpent head, in turn, speaks of the resurrection of Christ.
Genesis 3:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise
his heel. KJV
Obviously, since the fall of man, God's agenda has remained
'Grace.' Heaven was simply awaiting the fullness of time or the Appointed time
for the dispensation of grace to be unveiled and be ultimately established
through our spiritual rebirth as New race of beings and New creations in Christ
Jesus. And so, the law was sent as the school master to prepare man for the
coming of grace. The law, therefore, was never an end in itself; instead, a
means to an end. Our God is the Father of grace. He is slow to wrath and quick
in showing mercy. If it were not for His grace, compassion and mercy, we would
have all perished and be consumed. Thank God for His everlasting love and
endless grace that even, while, we were weak He sent Christ to die for us. It
was grace that found us from our filths and contaminations. And it was grace
that rescued us and made us fit to walk with God.
GALATIANS 4:1-7
1.
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a
child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2.
But is under tutors and governors until the
time appointed of the father.
3.
Even so we, when we were children, were in
bondage under the elements of the world:
4.
But when the fulness of the time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5.
To redeem them that were under the
law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6.
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7.
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a
son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. KJV
2 CORINTHIANS 5:
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. KJV
OUR RIGHT-STANDING WITH GOD
Grace works by faith in the accomplished work of the cross.
In other words, we will require the revelation knowledge of the will of God and
redemptive work of Christ so as to create a sense of conviction of faith in our
heart which ultimately prompts us to walk in the power and experiential reality
of God's grace. Grace qualifies us as God's righteousness in Christ. We never
earned righteousness, but rather, it was gifted us.
Righteousness is, therefore, first positional, and then
functional. Righteousness is our right-standing with God. It is the identity
accredited and imputed to us through our faith in the redemptive work of the
cross which qualified us to gain access to God's presence and entitled us
receive His unwavering acceptance through His unconditional love. All it
requires of us is to believe in what Christ has done and receive what He has
given us. If we have the revelation of God's unconditional love for us and the
understanding of the truth that we are His righteousness in Christ Jesus, then,
we will surely live victorious in life and be blessed beyond measure. Knowing
who we are in Christ Jesus is the fundamental of our Christian faith!
EPHESIANS 2:
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. KJV
ROMANS 5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. KJV
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21- For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
