Only By Grace
Scripture: Romans 6:14 “Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God's grace.”
Observation: What Paul is saying is that sin is no longer in control of us however it is not extinct as well, but God promises for those of us who contend for him that are living of under the freedom of God’s grace. The apostle means to say that Christians are not under the law as legalists, or as attempting to be justified by it. They seek a different plan of justification altogether: and they do not attempt to be justified by their own obedience.(Barnes)
Application: It is only by grace that we are justified. If we were to justify our sin by works, we could never attain the hours or the work ethic to cover our debts. But because of God’s grace, sin is no longer our master if we accept His grace!
Prayer: God thank you so much for your grace and love. I am so glad that I do not have to let sin be my master…but a loving God who is just and holy. Help me walk in your ways and light. Give me wisdom to share your grace and love. In Jesus Name Amen!
