GRACE, GrAce, God\u2019s Grace, Grace that is greater than all our sins.\u00a0 I type sing off key as well.\u00a0 How amazing is our God?\u00a0 This woman was caught, and Jesus explained how we are all caught in His eyes.\u00a0 He knows our sins and when Jesus asked if anyone had no sin, the conviction of Christ was on them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here is the key, \u201cgo and sin no more\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t take God\u2019s grace as a given, some right that we have.\u00a0 It is a gift and one day God will bring judgment.\u00a0 But how awesome is grace? AMAZING GRACE!<\/span><\/p>\n

Verses 12-32, instructs us on knowing Christ and following Christ.\u00a0 First Jesus said He is the light.\u00a0 The light of Christ exposes our way and our sins.\u00a0 It gives correction as well as direction.\u00a0 Secondly we need to continue in His Word.\u00a0 When we are in His Word we know the truth and the truth sets us free to live.\u00a0 Making up a truth does not make you free, but learning the truths of God, and living in them set you free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sin and Satan makes the prison of their ways seem as if you are free.\u00a0 Yes, you can do what you want, but now what you want has imprisoned you to continue doing what you want, and you cannot stop doing what you want even if you wanted to.\u00a0 Sin controls your life; ask a glutton, a drunk, a lustful person, or even someone who is after more, for them there is never enough.\u00a0\u00a0 The one thing we must remember is that lost people are doing what natural people do for they are following their father the devil.\u00a0 Satan has lied so brilliantly that they believe it as truth and\u00a0real truth cannot break in.\u00a0 As we read earlier, we know the truth and we are set free.\u00a0\u00a0 Free from following Satan and are flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask yourself this question: Do I believe a lie?\u00a0 If you believe anything against the truths of God\u2019s Word you believe a lie.\u00a0 This is why it is so important that we take in God\u2019s Word, meditate on God\u2019s Word, and memorize God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 God\u2019s truths will illuminate and destroy the lies of Satan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep reading…we are doing great in moving forward in our walk with Christ.\u00a0 I love you guys and I am so excited about us walking with Christ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
