James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
It’s great to know that when we sin or miss the mark, we have grace, through Jesus Christ, to keep us in right standing with God. It not only keeps us in right standing but, it continues to allow the blessings to flow.
For the longest time, I believed that when we sinned, we had to repent and start all over in earning our blessings. This thought only brought guilt and condemnation. Grace allows us to repent and stay in right standing with God. Because we’re under grace, in the eyes of God, we have never sinned. This message is not to encourage anyone to abuse grace but, it’s great to know that grace has the ability to remove the shame and guilt from our lives.
If there is a need or desire that you have but, you have sinned, continue to stand in faith for that desire. God has not abandoned you because of your sin. Lean, trust, depend, and rely on grace because He desires to fulfill His Word in your life.
