Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Our standing is to the glory of grace. As Adam's fall proved the weakness of standing in law — so the standing of the whole church proves the strength of standing in grace.

Here grace placed us, here grace preserves us, and here glory will find us! Blessed be God for grace, free grace, omnipotent grace, immutable grace!

Standing in Grace. by James Smith, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5 tells us that our standing in grace has swelled our spiritual assets by giving us: 1.) peace with God; 2.) union with Christ; 3.) a transformed response to .

Faith leads us into that way, along that way, to the end of that way; as it is written, "By whom we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace.

Standing in Grace - Part 1

Faith excludes works, as grace excludes desert. Neither on the ground of doing, or deserving — but on the ground of faith alone are we justified, reconciled, and accepted of God.

Glory crowns it, hence it is added, "and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Let us take care then, that we do not get back under the law — but let us stand fast in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

The law being satisfied, having received all it can demand — can now only be a rule , pointing out what God approves, and directing us how to walk and to please God. But let us take care that we do not get to dealing with God on the ground of works.

This Grace In Which We Stand.
.
.

We come not to the bar of justice — but to the throne of grace. We come not to bring a price, that we may purchase or procure some good thing; but that we may obtain mercy, mid find grace to help us in time of need. Let us take care not to block up the way to this grace, it is open to all, free for all, and alike easy to all.

There is no difference between Jew or Gentile, bond or free, black or white; all have sinned, and therefore deserve to die — but all are invited to Jesus, and therefore may be pardoned, reconciled, and saved. Under the law , we are all enemies to God; but through the gospel , coming under grace, we become the friends and favorites of God.

He treats us, not as the lawgiver treats law breakers; but as a kind and loving Father treats his tenderly beloved children. Blessed, forever blessed be God, for "this grace wherein we stand.
