Day 40 - Romans 5:20-21 Because of Hypergrace, I’m standing in a River of Blessing
Romans 5:20-21 (KJV):
"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
God's superabounding grace is beautifully depicted in Romans 5:20-21. The law was given so that sin would increase, but where sin abounded, grace abounded even more. It is like a river of living water flowing out from the throne of God, constantly pouring out His abundant grace upon us. This grace is not limited or constrained, but it overflows and surpasses all sin and wrongdoing. It is a grace that is greater than our failures, our weaknesses, and our mistakes.
In this river of grace, Christ's life swallows up mortality and brings us into the flow of God's purposes and blessings. Through His obedience, a fountain of grace sprang up and flowed out as a river, washing away the sin and death that once covered the whole human race. Now, in Christ, we have access by faith into this superabounding grace in which we stand. It is a grace that not only justifies us, but also empowers us to reign in life through righteousness. It is a grace that leads us to eternal life, where we experience the fullness of God's love, joy, and peace forever.
