Grace is the fragrance of love

Grace is the fragrance of love. It is the aroma of all the Christ is. The sweet sacrifice that is pleasing to God. In all Christ did it was the delightful aroma that filled the magnificence of heaven. Grace given to you is the ability and power of love. Grace, being love, means you will be rooted and grounded in Him when you are rooted and grounded in love. Grace out of God’s very heart comes…

Righteousness

Righteousness – By receiving grace we have become the Righteousness of God in Christ. This Righteousness is not an experience, although it gives birth to many marvelous experiences. It is the nature of the Father imparted to us. It is that nature gaining the ascendency in us until we know that we are what God says we are masters, conquerors! Righteousness means the ability to be in the presence…

Adoption

Adoption – by receiving grace God has adopted me into His family. Adoption is an amazing thing. It is even amazing in human terms. When a couple chooses to adopt a child, that child becomes theirs and they become the parents in every sense of the word. Birth certificates can be changed so that the birth parents are replaced by the adoptive parents. Names are changed to reflect the new…

Everything that happened to Jesus also happened to you! The good thing about it is that when He hung on the Cross, you were united with Him in that – but you didn’t…
