Grace Reigns Through Righteousness

"..That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:21

I am amazed by the grace of God; His grace reigns in the lives of those who desire to live righteous lives, and those who do live righteous lives. His grace still reigns even when we fail. Thank God!

YHVH's grace reigns through righteousness not sin . This is troubling in a culture where it seems grace is taught as a reason we do not have live righteous lives; i.e., we can thirst for sin and still be saved? Wait a second! Grace reigns through righteousness; righteousness is living by God's Word through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Those who have been declared righteous apart from the works of the law know that God's declaration of righteousness is the result of faith in the Gospel of His Son.

Grace does declare me righteous because I believe in the Gospel of God; however, His grace also makes me desire to live out this righteousness daily by denying the fleshly lusts and following the Messiah.
