New You – Grace Life

Encounter Grace Course – Part 16

Recently I heard someone proclaim in a meeting that was supposed to inspire us to Pray, “ I’m carnal, I’m sold under Sin, the world is going to hell, and there is nothing we can do about it.”

Why do we feel powerless in the face of the onslaught of evil in the earth today?

The Truth is that no matter what kind of problems we are up against, there is always something we can do about it. Jesus said, “ I have come to give you Life, and Life more abundantly.”

Notice Jesus did NOT say, “I have come to give you a religious opiate, so that you can give up on the world, and enjoy a nice traditional ritual in a lovely social club.”

Grace has given you the Gift of Righteousness so that you can Reign in this Life, not just in the hereafter. This means that we are no longer subject to the demands of our Carnal Nature, which is in our body, and not in our Spirit which has been Renewed.
