Grace Church Orlando

The Law was given by God to condemn sin and self-righteousness. What God did with The Law afterwards will utterly surprise and amaze you.

There is Biblical understanding of Justice; one that finds its roots in Grace. It isn't centered in retribution but in restoration. The goal is to make everyone whole--the offender and the offended. It aims to make everything right for everyone. It is not about payback. It is about putting back in order everything that is out of order. This understanding of Justice finds it source in the heart of our loving God.

Thanks to Jesus, the only thing we labor for is resting in and believing in Him.  No matter how it may seem, there is always peace in Christ,  where nothing is missing and nothing is broken!

God doesn't see us through a filter of Christ's blood. Believers aren't covered by His blood but cleansed by His blood. When God sees us, He sees the real us and He loves who he sees.

Jesus died “once for all”! He died once for all people and all time. God’s forgiveness was triggered by the shedding of blood and Jesus’ blood was a perfect sacrifice for sin. Our sins were forgiven and taken away forever. We are cleansed and holy.

As believers, we in no way condone sin but rather understand it is condemned to the flesh. To overcome sin in the flesh, we should simply rest in the sufficiency of Christ and renew our minds according to our perfect identity before God!

Grace is God preparing a bride by clothing Her in His righteousness. Grace is giving the undeserved beyond what they could ever hope for. Grace is the Cinderella story where we are made beautiful by God’s love instead of fairy tale magic. As believers we are the betrothed awaiting the celebration of all celebrations!

Jesus taught that the Kingdom of Heaven was likened to a wedding feast. Starting His ministry here on earth at a wedding should come as no surprise. God was revealing His long range plan for us through a proposal that His Son would make to us. But first, He had to save bridezilla!

Many Christians are like Eutychus who fell asleep on the window sill, having heard repeatedly the impassioned message of grace but had not received the life-changing revelation of truth it contained.
