Sin and Grace

-

What is Sin?
The quality of sin is an act against the grace of God. It emphsizes that sin is never an individual act, but it is also and always a soical matter.

Grace is the expression of God's will to be with and for humankind in a community in which human is both for God and for his neighbor. 

He who love God cannot hate his neighbor; and he who hates his neighbor cannot love God 1John 2,3. 

Sin is the rejection of this gracious divine will to the community, therefore, it is not an individualistic act.

Do we love God? Do we Love our neighbors who are different from you?  The  answers should always be Yes!  1John 4:16 God is Love

The Love of God in Jesus Christ

God’s Love Shown Through Jesus Christ John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. who loved me and gave himself for me. Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, evenwhen we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— 1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so lov...

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,   and he began to teach them.   The Beatitudes He said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit,      for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Woe onto the Nations that Hides the Truth

The God that sees and hears everything.   “My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children;  they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil;  they know not how to do good.” I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens,  and their light was gone.   I looked at the mountains,  and they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.   I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky had flown away.   I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;  all its towns lay in ruins before the Lord , before his fierce anger. (Jeremiah 4:23-26) God is God Jesus the Christ and Savior of rightness.

Christ Jesus Hids You In His Hands

Colossians 3:1-11 New International Version (NIV) Living as Those Made Alive in Christ 3  Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,  set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.   2  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.   3  For you died,  and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.   4  When Christ, who is your [ a ]  life,  appears,  then you also will appear with him in glory. 5  Put to death,  therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:  sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,  which is idolatry.   6  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.   7  You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.   8  But now you must also rid yourselves  of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,  and filthy language from your lips. 9  Do...

It Is Finished!  Jesus the Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords   The Death of Jesus  Matthew 27:45-56 45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).  47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” 48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”  50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs afte...

The Lord' Jesus Last Passover Lamb

The Passover with the Disciples 17  On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18  He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” 19  So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal. 20  When it was evening, he took his place with the twelve; 21  and while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” 22  And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23  He answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24  The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have b...
