Scripture Reading: Romans 7:14-15

“We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am a creature of the flesh [worldly, self-reliant—carnal and unspiritual], sold into slavery to sin [and serving under its control]. For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity].”(AMP)

2) God’s Numerous Grace: Today’s scripture, Apostle Paul was explaining here, the conflicts of two nature. And do you know that despite that the body(flesh) is subject to death at the end, yet, it leads many astray. Is either you’re carnal or spiritual. The flesh gain total freedom over your life when the spirit is silent. Yet, God will forgive you if you Confess and repent from all your sin and both past, present and future are forgiven after you believe in Christ Jesus.

Sin comes naturally but righteousness takes focus. Focus on obeying God’s Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to help. On my own, I seem to always say or do the wrong thing. But, when I confess each sin, try and learn from it, and change my way of thinking, the Lord forgives me. Not just every now and then but all the time. There is much more grace than you have sin.

2) God’s Forgiveness Grace: Not only are all of my sins forgiven when I repent but I also gain a supernatural ability to forgive others of offenses they commit. God helps me to forgive little offenses, big offenses, and even previously unforgivable ones.

I have learned that forgiveness is possible even when the offense caused extreme hurt. There are examples of people forgiving other people of murder. Jesus Himself, said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,” from the cross! This kind of forgiving grace doesn’t take away from the depravity of the offense, but it does provide an atmosphere where the offender can repent if he chooses.

Forgiving grace requires the strength of God because when I’m left to my own thoughts, revenge and/or depression are at the forefront of my mind. Forgiveness is usually a God-ordained thought. To be continue tomorrow morning by God’s Grace. Good morning and do have a great weekend, peace.

Prayer point: Lord Jesus, grant me more of your grace and help me to do to others what you have done for me in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
