In the face of all this, what is there left to say?
If God is for us, who can be against us? He that did not hesitate to spare his own Son but gave him up for us all - can we not trust such a God to give us, with him, everything else that we can need?
Who would dare to accuse us, whom God has chosen? The judge himself has declared us free from sin.
Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us!
Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, pain or persecution? Can lack of clothes and food, danger to life and limb, the threat of force of arms?...
No, in all these things we win an overwhelming victory through Him who has proved His love for us.
I have become absolutely convinced that neither death nor life, neither messenger of Heaven nor monarch of earth, neither what happens today nor what may happen tomorrow, neither a power from on high nor a power from below, nor anything else in God's whole world has any power to has any power to separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord! Rom. 8:31-9
Because grace is true, noone can stand against us. God Himself is for us against every enemy and we are already victors through Christ. God withholds nothing from us. He ALWAYS leads us through this life in triumph. He freely gives us all we need in and with the gift of His Son; we are lacking in NO WAY at all. We are ready and have all sufficiency for any situation that comes our way in this life.
Because grace is true, noone can make any accusation against us to stick. God Himself has declared us FREE from sin! We can thus walk through this life without any sin-consciousness AT ALL! If the Judge declares you in the right, noone can reverse that decision, ever! Let the voices of accusation say what they will, they are unable to change the FACT that Christ's work forgave us and made us right with God.
Because grace is true, noone can condemn us. Christ Himself has won our acceptance before God, and it holds for all eternity! Our standing before God is unchangeable no matter what our behavior may be, since it is based not on our own imperfect obedience but on the perfect obedience of Christ! NOTHING will ever cause us to be rejected because Jesus' sacrifice that perfected us will never be rejected!
Because grace is true, noone and nothing can remove us from the Love of God. We are in the Presence of Divine Love and noone can take us out, not even our own selves. We are truly safe in His hands. No matter what we do, no matter what we think, no matter what terrible circumstances we suffer, He HOLDS us and will never let go. His Love will always engulf us, carry us, speak tenderly to us, see the best in us, and call us beautiful.
Because grace is true, I am alive and well and thanking God today! I am Son-conscious and not sin-conscious! I am Life-conscious and not good-and-evil-conscious! I choose to hold my head high and say, despite my feelings to the contrary, I am the righteousness of God in Christ and never condemned! I am God's Beloved and the apple of His eye! I am in union with Him who is Pure Love and would never, ever harm me! I am free in Christ from all sin and guilt. I am beautiful to God! I am accepted no matter what! As Jesus is to the Father today, I am!
Because grace is true, as Jesus is to the Father today, YOU ARE!
With love from
