Why Do We Need A Personal Revelation of Grace?
My friend Michelle asked me a great question the other day after observing someone who doesn’t seem to understand grace yet. “I have a question….the message that God loved you just for you was not something you had never heard before. Why do u think it didn’t register for all that time previous? What was […]
796. Paul: Jesus Broke Down the Wall of Separation (The Law of Commandments)
This week we’re in the second chapter of Ephesians. Paul keeps pounding away for each group of churches he is writing to regarding the good news message of salvation coming by grace through faith, and not of works. There is nothing left for any of us to boast in what we do.
In this passage, he reveals how the barrier or dividing wall which had kept Israel in bondage and Gentiles without a covenant — that wall was broken down by Jesus so these two groups of people could become one in Christ.
What was that wall of separation? It was the law of commandments contained in ordinances … and Jesus brought down this enmity in order to reconcile the world to God.
795. Paul: One Gospel, One Covenant – There Is No Longer Jew and Gentile
Continuing to review nuggets of grace from the Apostle Paul, we’re in the book of Galatians and the first part of Ephesians. Paul emphasizes grace over works as he refers to an (unearned) inheritance received in Christ, where believers are no longer viewed as Jews and Gentile, slave or free, male or female. We are all one in Christ, where there is one gospel message of grace for all. The previous covenant from Mt. Sinai brought spiritual bondage but we’ve all been brought into a new and different covenant, where we’ve been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance—resulting in freedom in Christ.
My Dramatic Presentation This Morning and God’s Great Grace
Get ready for a laugh, cuz I’m about to get real. This morning I woke up super negative because last night I was thinking, “Ok! When I get these few last things checked off my list I’ll be all caught up!” But suddenly I remembered I am suppose to be gathering information for a certain […]
794. Paul: One Gospel for All – Don’t Set Aside Grace in Exchange for Works
Things haven’t changed much in the past 2,000 years. Although the rules and regulations are tweaked based upon religious brands and cultural changes, the Christian religious system often weakens the message by emphasizing a works-based message while putting grace on the shelf. Grace may be used as a selling point, but watch out for the fine print.
The Million Dollar Question
This is by far the most popular question I get… “How can I get a revelation of grace like you have, Sandra?” In my case, I did not even know what I was missing. I thought I was supposed to just keep trying harder to live the Christian life but I did not realize why […]

God’s People Flourish In Troubled Times
Has 2020 been a crazy year so far, or what? Have you heard any scary prophecies? Have you noticed if you’re personally expecting the worst or expecting the best? Friends, as I was sitting in the final session of the Grace Beach Vacation Conference last Sunday listening to Jerimiah Johnson’s message titled “God’s People Flourish […]
744. Hebrews 6: A Sure Anchor of Hope: Jesus the Forerunner Entered the Veil for Us
Some Bible verses can appear to be scary on the surface when taken out of context, so keep reading and look for the refuge of assurance found only in Christ. Abraham is a great example of faith in action as he depended upon God to fulfill a promise … which ultimately would lead to a great High Priest, appointed through an oath—not the law.
