Introduction: Understanding Grace
Pastor Lenny begins by sharing how God gave him a revelation about grace. He explains that grace is more than just unmerited favor—it is Jesus Christ Himself, the Anointed One and His anointing. He compares grace to the hospitality of his own home, where visitors are welcomed without conditions, illustrating that believers are fully embraced by God without the need to qualify or prove themselves.
The Throne Room of Grace
Grace is intimately connected with mercy. According to Hebrews 4:16, believers are invited to approach the throne of grace boldly, where mercy and grace abound. In God's presence, there is no condemnation—only love, acceptance, and empowerment to live victoriously.
The Power of the Gospel
The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, as stated in Romans 1:16-17. The word "salvation" includes rescue, deliverance, healing, and well-being. Grace is what brings salvation, and it is freely available to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Grace and Righteousness
Righteousness is a gift, not something earned. Colossians 1:12-1 explains that believers are qualified through Christ and have been translated into His kingdom. Once declared righteous, believers have full access to grace, allowing them to live free from guilt and shame.
Accessing Grace Through Faith
According to Romans 5:1-2, faith grants access to grace. This is not based on human effort but on believing in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces that salvation is purely a gift from God and not a reward for works.
The Role of Perception and Revelation
Perception and revelation play a crucial role in accessing grace. 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 states that the Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God. As believers grow in the knowledge of God’s love and righteousness, their ability to walk in grace increases.
Living in Grace and Reigning in Life
Through grace, believers are called to reign in life. Romans 5:17 declares that those who receive an abundance of grace and righteousness shall rule as kings. This grace empowers believers to overcome sin, sickness, financial struggles, and all obstacles in life.
Conclusion: Walking in the Fullness of Grace
Pastor Lenny encourages listeners to fully embrace grace, understanding that it is a gift from God. He urges believers to share this teaching and reminds them that they are deeply loved by God. The sermon closes with a call to walk confidently in righteousness, knowing that grace has already provided everything needed for life and godliness.
We hope this teaching has blessed you. Share this message with others so they too can experience the power of grace in their lives. Remember, you are fully loved by God, and His grace is always available to you.
