By faith into grace

By faith into grace.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 5:2 NKJV
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

The focus of the Old covenant is man's ability. The focus of the New covenant is God's ability - which is also called GRACE. Through Jesus, we enter the new covenant of God's grace.

A person can be in the new covenant but live according to the old covenant. Jesus said if you put new wine in old wine skins, the wine skins will burst and the wine will be poured out - both will be destroyed. Man's ability always leads to bondage. God's ability always leads to freedom. You are not in the old but in the new covenant. You are in Christ and you have a covenant with God in the blood of Jesus. In the New Covenant, God lives in you and we live by God's ability. No matter where you are and what you are doing - Remember! - His grace, His ability is sufficient. You can be an excellent person, an excellent husband, excellent wife, excellent employee, excellent businessman, excellent student, excellent minister, excellent in whatever position you are in - not by your ability but by God's ability. Jesus, full of grace and truth has made God's ability available to us through His blood and through His death, burial and resurrection.

How do you access God's ability?  - By faith. You access this ability by faith. Faith is the only access to grace. As you start believing and speaking God's word, grace will be released. Believe and Speak the new covenant word realities consistently. See! - God living in you, see yourself walking and living in God's ability. You are unstoppable. There is nothing that you can't overcome, all things are possible. Everything is possible for the one who believes - when you believe, God's ability is released and all things are possible for God.

"I live under Grace - God's ability and not under Law - my ability. I overcome, I conquer, I win because Christ is in me and I live through Him. Hallelujah. No matter where I am and what I am doing, I walk and live in excellence because His grace is sufficient. I believe it and I receive it now. In Jesus name, Amen."
