“…sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.” (Romans 5: 20, Message Bible)

Let’s not let sin cause us to fear and to doubt. Let’s not cower in the face of evil and agree to believe that this mistaken view of ourselves and of God, is powerful and harmful.

Sin—an unnatural and untrue belief in separation from God, good—can seem to cause us to feel we are irredeemable, that we have lost our sense of worth. We can succumb to a sense of guilt over mistakes—past and present—and feel that this lesser sense of self is our cross to bear, the limited life we must live.

But grace abounds. And grace is a force to contend with. This tender, present, love of God does not back off in the face of sin, in the face of evil thoughts and deeds. Grace comes with a vengeance, so to speak, to restore our concept of ourselves to what God caused us to be, to cleanse us of sin and the fear of it, and to show us our good life.

Sin is not of God, so it has no power. Grace is God’s own Spirit making itself known to us. It is invincible and relentless in actively bringing us home to peace, purity, goodness, and Love.
