Free(er) from sin.

I know that until recently, my 20 years as a Christian has been a course in ‘sin management’. It has been a course that I have failed badly, because no one taught me (properly) the ‘Grace module’ that gives you a foolproof chance of passing.

When I started to really get how much God loved me, when everything I have ever learned thus far just began to melt away, I really feel that I can get what it means in Romans 5:20;

All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.

Romans 5:20 The Message

Grace, and the wonderful abandon that comes from knowing that you are adored and cherished by a loving heavenly Father means that sin just isn’t so attractive anymore. It is just so much better to be in relationship with Jesus and those around you.

If you feel no-one has ever taught you properly about Grace, get straight on to God about it now – He can be trusted to give you a proper lesson!
