Miracles by grace!

Rom 5:10 & 20: For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The solution to fulfil our deepest need for God’s supernatural intervention in our lives, infected with death and its consequences, is only to be found by looking outside of ourselves to a power greater than we are. Unless we have a supernatural life given to us by the intervention of a supernatural God, we will never be free. Instead of freedom, we will experience the reign of death in every aspect of our lives.

This phrase "how much more shall we be saved through Christ’s life" indicates that God’s gift of life is greater and more powerful to save from all our problems and concerns, than the reign of death that causes our bondage as a result of sin.

The gift of God’s life releases us from blame and we who believe in Jesus stand blameless before God. This makes it possible for the gift of supernatural life to release us from every form of bondage. We are told how death reigned. Sin is remorseless. And the reign of death has exempted no one. But we are taught that through the gift of being reconciled with God, we shall reign in life through the power of the risen Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is more powerful than the reign of death. His gift of life has set us free. Though we still choose to sin, we do not have to make that choice anymore.

More importantly, remember the power of grace. Sin is everywhere. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more. The power of grace is revealed in its abundant supply. All of the sins put together could never exhaust the grace of God.

Just as sin reigned in death, so also grace reigns through God’s life – only with more power. And the purpose of this reign of grace is to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. God's grace is part of his plan and it is God's purpose that grace might reign.

No one can cancel the effect of God's sovereign grace. You may ignore it, but you can not destroy it.
God's grace is sufficient and powerful to deliver us from helpless bondage.
We need so many miracles. Well, the miracle of being brought to life by God is followed by all the miracles we need every day under the demands of death’s attack in every aspect of our lives.
Yes, these miracles do not always come in the ways we envisage!
But it is always there. It happens all the time, through Christ’s supernatural life that saves and reigns in us!

Be grateful for all the miracles the living Lord will do in your life and the lives of your loved ones, this week!
