There is Always More Grace Then There is Sin

Romans 5:20 says, "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound...."

The actual Greek rendering of this verse gives much more explanation:

"For the law slipped in that sin might increase, but where sin increased, grace did super-abound----and then more grace on top of that."

As bad as things may get in the world, grace will always be greater.
As difficult as things may get in your life, grace will always be more abundant.

This is the promise of God's Word! It is so easy to focus on the sin and what the enemy may be doing in our world or even our own personal lives. Sin and difficulty is visible. Grace, in contrast, is invisible. Grace comes from God and God is a spirit. Initially, even though grace is available, you cannot see it. This is why grace is activated by faith.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith......" There is a superabundant amount of grace available for you but you must have faith that it is there-----and that it is for you!

This may be one of the most powerful and insightful revelations in all of Scripture! As sin increases, grace increases even more........and then some more grace on top of that! Knowing this, is there ever a legitimate reason to be discouraged? Is there ever a time we should hang or heads and be distraught? Absolutely not! When we know and believe this truth, we will rest and trust in God giving us more than enough grace to overwhelm every failure, every hardship, and every circumstance that seemingly is against us.

The next time you begin to focus on the negative circumstances you are facing, make a shift in your thinking and begin to dwell on the superabundant grace that will cause you to be victorious! Be confident that grace is increasing in your life through the love and goodness of the Father!
