THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!
The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.
“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.
“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundation basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any forms of persecutions, in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping the satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].
The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.
The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists in the BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].
Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through these four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:
- FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – Gods righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
- FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensures that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
- The UNSEEN: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, help ensures one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond a mere sight before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
- DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensures a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].
Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensures and to be assures that the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEW’S (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILE’S (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jew’s and the born of God Gentile’s [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].
Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].
It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.
“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.
“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.
“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway”
“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.
“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.
“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.
“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.
