Unashamed - Part 5

Justification by faith is not simply a legal transaction. It is a repositioning into an entirely new way of living under the reign of grace. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we receive peace with God, a new standing in grace, a hope that goes deeper than our circumstances, and the love of God poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. God did not wait for us to clean ourselves up before He acted. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Grace is not permission to sin. It is the supernatural empowerment to live free from sin, and everything surrendered to God comes under its reign.
