More and More Grace and Glory

Through Adam, because of sin we suffer, bounded by the law of sin and death. Because God is merciful, we are able to reclaim our blessing of being His children through faith in Jesus Christ and repentance to God. In His son, (the antitype of Adam) we have all received the fullness of grace, and grace for grace. Let us count the Grace that we have in Christ Jesus:

1. Forgiveness of sins	In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14
2. Free from sins	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2
3. Deliverance from the death	Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, 2 Corinthians 1:10
4. Free from God’s Wrath	Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans 5:9
5. Reconciled with God	That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19
6. Being Redeemed	In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7
7. Being Saved	For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17
8. Received Eternal Life	For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
9. Received the Holy Spirit	In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:13
10. Being Justified	Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:24
11. Being Sanctified	For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Hebrews 10:14
12. Peace endowed	Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
13. Set Free	Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1
14. As the son of God	For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26

Not only that, God through his son, also prepared for us the eternal blessing and the incorruptible glory. As long as we endure till the end, fulfill God’s will, we will then receive His abundant glory, and from glory to glory. Let us count the Glory that we will be received in Christ Jesus:

1. The Kingdom of God	Which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 2 Thessalonians 1:5
2. Being Heirs of God	And if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:17
3. Glorious Body	Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Philippians 3:21
4. Inheritance	Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:24
5. The Right to the Tree of Life	Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14
6. Reward	Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. Ephesians 6:8
7. Reign with God	Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. 2 Timothy 2:10, 12
