THE ABIDANCE OF GRACE 8-16-26 VIDEO
God is quite prepared to go beyond anything we could imagine or hope for. Grace is the much more or the abundance of God. The abundance of grace is not just a small measure of unearned favor, but it is the abundance of it. God has given the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
ROM 5:17 Death no longer has the final say. Life rules! If the effect of one mans crash-landing engaged mankind in a death-dominated lifestyle how much more advantaged is the very same mankind now that they are the recipients of the boundless reservoirs of grace, empowering them to enjoy the dominion of life through the gift of righteousness because of that one man, Jesus Christ. Grace is out of all proportion in superiority to the transgression.
18 The conclusion is clear: if one offence condemns the entire human race; then in principle, the righteousness of one vindicates the entire human race.
19 The disobedience of the one exhibits mankind as sinners; the obedience of another exhibits mankind as righteous.
20 The presence of the law made no difference, instead it merely highlighted the offence; but where sin increased, grace superseded it.
21 Death provided sin its platform and power to reign from; now grace has taken over sovereignty through righteousness to introduce unthreatened life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ over us. A simple equation: We were not made sinners by our own disobedience; neither were we made righteous by our own obedience. The same humanity represented in the one man Adam, is triumphantly represented in the one man Jesus Christ! Adams transgression no longer holds the human race hostage. MIRROR ↕↕↕

MIRROR
LUKE 12:24 Ponder rather, how carefree the crows are! They do not sow or reap; neither do they have secret store chambers or granaries - God indulges them. Now, compared to birds, to what greater lengths do you think, would God be prepared to go for you, in order to nurture you? MIRROR
LUKE 12:27 Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don't fuss with their appearance - but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.

Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory. TPT

17 These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us.
18 There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. MSG

Oh what bliss to rejoice in the fact that in the midst of my frailties I encounter the dynamic of the grace of God to be my habitation. MIRROR
