Grace and justice kissed each other on the cross of Jesus Christ

Posted on by asherdc89

We have all sinned in transgression to God’s law. It was simultaneously an act of God’s justice and grace where Jesus takes our place, and fulfills the righteousness of the law. To make the sacrifice possible. Receiving the full measure of its condemnation against sin, which is death; and therefore, paying the price for our salvation with His own blood as a sacrifice for sin.

As a result of His sacrifice, we could only be justified by faith in His sacrifice, and by faith in His Sacrifice no longer choose to live in transgression to keep God’s commandments.

The law could only be kept by faith in response to God’s love, and out of love to God, because of His grace through His Son Jesus Christ.

To then not keep the law is to live in transgression. And to live in transgression is to deny the free gift of God’s love by faith. This demonstrates to keep the law is only out of faith in a profound love and appreciation for His love for us. Due to His grace through the sacrifice of His Son.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
