Grace - Eternal &

"Grace that saved a wretch like me.."..so amazing. A significant thing about God's grace that remains amazing is the eternal effect it has had on every believer and that includes you and me. The effect of grace outnumbers any physical effect no matter how glorious it may be. I would like us to take a cue from the book of Hebrews, chapter 12 from verse 18 to 24. It states disparities between Mount Sinai and Mount Zion, that is Law and Grace respectively. Then in verse 21 it says 'Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he said, “I am terrified and trembling.”'(NLT) The Law came with a strong statement that left even the bearer (Moses) trembling. All that the law offered was physical, filled with indignation and fear to its observers.

 It is worthy of note that the law brought death to 3,000 people after it was enacted. On the other hand, GRACE came with life and 3,000 people were saved on the day of Pentecost after it was enacted through the Holy Spirit. All that Grace offers at Mount Zion is spiritual and eternal. The effect is uncommon and the platform brings comfort that shows mercy. Verse 24 of Hebrews 12 says "You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel." (NLT)
Grace has left us eternally bettered and it is hinged on forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ.

 All that grace has done has spiritual and eternal effects.

No matter what your present situation is saying in the physical, in the realm of the spirit you have been brought to a place of uncommon feat with God: "..You have come to God himself.."(verse 23).

Plug into the amazing Grace of God that is beyond the physical realm and transcends into the heavens where Christ is seated in God.
