Grace Teaching With Brad

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Philippians‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

The Hebrew word for still used in Psalm 40:10, Raphah, means to sink down, relax, let go of. Often this is the last thing we want to do when the world is spinning and we feel like we have no control of a situation.

“In him we have redemption through his blood Ephesians‬ ‭1:7‬A

Redemption is God's effective work of grace, purchasing us us from the debt of sin and bringing us to our new status (being in Christ).

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”Colossians‬ ‭1:13-14‬

The problem is many of us when pressure comes into our lives we tend to focus on the pressure. From there we start complaining and then we get angry, and then we play the victim role. God‘s purpose in pressure & problems is to move us to the Lord not away from him. Disobedience is not letting the pressure of Life us to him.

“Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.”Proverbs‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

( Condemns) pronounces us guilty when we sin . “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”Romans‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
