TOPIC:
 The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ
(Living holy by Grace-8)

Dear friends of Jesus, you are welcome to eat today's soul bread.

We are still looking at how you can live a holy life by God's grace.

If you asked anybody the question: "how can you live a holy life? " The response most of the time would be: "ah it's by God's grace ooh". Even some unbelievers would answer the same way! Is that response a correct one? YES it is!

But the problem is that, are people really trusting in that grace of God to help them live the holy life? ...i don't know! Just like me, for several years now.

What is the problem? ...It is because most people do not know how to let(allow) grace to help them live that holy life! So we keep trying and failing! Is this how will continue?

Let's look at the scripture below:

"....., so also God's GRACE RULES BY MEANS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS leading us to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:21(GNB)

This scripture above makes us know that grace reigns through righteousness. This means that the grace you actually need to help us live a holy life will reign, rule and dominate when you believe that you are righteous by your faith in Jesus Christ. That is, when you receive the GIFT of righteousness by your faith in Jesus, that is when you allow the grace of God to work for you and help you live a holy life.

That is how to allow the SPIRIT OF GRACE who is the Holy Spirit-Zechariah 12:10- to use HIS own power to help you live the holy life. Because somebody who is drowning in the water must stop struggling first so that he will allow the rescuer to rescue him, or else he may even drown the rescuer along with himself if possible!

So my friend,simply believe you are righteous and CONFESS it regularly then trust the Holy Spirit to help you from within you to gradually live the holy life by Grace.

Further Bible Reading:
Romans 8:10 (NIV)
2nd Corinthians 5:21
Zechariah 12:10

Prayer point:
1)Father i thank you for giving me the seed(gift) of your own righteousness so i can plant it in the ground of my heart by faith and so bring forth fruits of righteousness by the help of your Holy Spirit.
