"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" Romans 5:17
When we are born in to the world as our life began death hanged over our heads. We don't know when our time to die will be no one does. Some die as children so die in old age but the time of death is unknown to all that live in this world. We never had a choice in if we wanted to die or not. Because of sin death has ruled and conquered the strongest of men.
Then came Jesus. Jesus Christ through His love and grace did the unthinkable. He died for our sins and took captivity captive. He satisfied our sin debt and gave us life. When we receive Christ we are no longer bound to death but liberated to live in Him. It is not just for the strong and the most gifted individuals it is for everyone. It is for those that will believe in Jesus Christ. The one that overcame the world(death, sin) through His death burial and resurrection and now through faith are set free from the chains of death and given a clean slate in Him.
Our faith in Him causes us to reign in life. We are not confident in ourselves but we are confident in the one that has freed us from ourselves. Jesus Christ causes us to reign not because we deserve to but because His grace allows us to. Without His grace we would have no access to a relationship with God. Grace allows us to live above our limitations and dwell in the Presence of our Creator. Through the grace of God (Jesus Christ) we reign in life.
Receive the grace of God in your life. It is a gift of God that has your name on it. Accept it and Live in it. God Bless you
