Are His Elect Free in this Age of Grace; and if so, free from what?

<< < (2/2)

Wanda:
Hi Pamela,
Hope I'm understanding this correctly...
Paul says in Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, thou shalt not covet.

Before the law the people were not aware their actions we're sinful, but once the law was established their sin was brought into the light, and thus increased the knowledge of sin.

Romans 5:21 That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
What a wonderfull provision God has blessed us with, through his loving  and merciful sacrifice.

Wanda

Joel:
A lot of freedom here;

2 Timothy 1:7-For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Joel

DEJI:
"Rom.5:20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass. But where sin increased, grace abounded
All the more.
Could someone please explain what that last scripture means, I have an idea but not sure 🤔
Thankyou. God Bless"

Hi Pamela, I think what it means is that man can't be too deep in sin to be out of the reach of God's saving grace. The grace of God is so amazing that it will save the most wretched of sinners. That is no excuse to continue in sin though so Paul went on to say in Roman 6:1 "
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?"

I hope that helps Pamela.

Musterseed:
Thankyou all so much
Of course, how could they know they were sinning if they didn't know what sin was,thus the law and only by the
Grace of God are we saved from our sins for the wages are death. When I first found out that God will save All and raise All back to life , I was so excited I told my husband and grandson. Well of course they said " we might as well keep sinning then". At the time I was such a green horn I had no answer for them not to, I was stumped, I told them to take it up with God🤔.
I was pleasantly surprised though when my grandson told me the beast of Revelation was us, he does not read the Bible so I asked how he knew that, he said "Marilyn Manson" 😱 
God Bless all of you🙏🏼 Pamela
