BIBLE STUDY SCRIPT: GRACE 1) DESTINED TO REIGN: i) Romans 5:17 Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah ii) Heb 10:12-14 But when this Priest had offered the one supreme sacrifice for sin for all time he sat down on a throne at the right hand of God, waiting until all his whispering enemies are subdued and turn into his footstool. And by his one perfect sacrifice he made us perfectly holy and complete for all time! iii) Eph 2:4-6 But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! 2) THE LAW HAS BEEN FULFILLED i) Matthew 5:17 … I have come to bring to perfection all that have been written. NB: Jesus came to fulfil the law ii) John 1:17, Roman 8:1, Col 2:14-15, NB: Jesus has fulfilled completely the righteous requirements of the law; the devil cannot use the law to condemn you every time you fail. iii) Your part is to believe on Jesus Christ, and when you believe, you are blessed and made righteous! 3) THE PURPOSE FOR THE LAW GAL 3:21 i) God did not give the law for us to keep, He gave the law to bring man to the end of himself. So, he will see the need for a savior. 1Tim 1: 8-9, ii) Rom 7:12 There is nothing inherently wrong with the law. The law is holy, just and good. But it is time to realize that while the law is holy, just and good, it has no power to make you holy. It has no power to make you just and it is definitely having no power to make you good. iii) Hebrew 8:13 By cutting a new covenant of grace, God has made the first obsolete The truth is no man can keep the law, Gal 3:11 4) SATAN THE AUTHOR OF GUILT, SHAME & CONDEMNATION. i) Rev 22:10 In Hebrew, the devil’s name is called ha-satan, which literally means ‘the accuser” Hence the devil crowning achievement is to bring about condemnation in your life, concealing it in a fog of deception, so that you will be the last person to think that you are under condemnation. Condemnation demands a payment for all your sins, but without Jesus, there is no payment. Rom 8:1 ii) Beloved our hearts have been sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ from an evil conscience. An evil conscience is one that is perpetually conscious of sin and failure, and typically expects punishment. It is a conscience under condemnation. A good conscience feeds on the life on the life of Christ and gives you the confidence to draw near to God with a “true heart in full assurance of faith” that God is not angry with you.
