Sin has no dominion over my life

I am too blessed to be stressed!

The No. 1 killer in Singapore is heart failure. We should be a Martha on the outside and a Mary on the inside. Let us live the "let go" life. Let us sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to the Word.

We give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.

It is not the mercy of God that forgave us of our sins. We are made righteous by His righteousness. The holiness of God is now on our side because of the blood of Jesus. His holiness will secure us.

The Cross of Jesus is the full vindication of God's love. God is satisfied with what Christ has done. It would be unjust for God to exact judgement on Jesus at the Cross and exact judgement again on us.

As the anointed word of God goes forth, minds are changing. God blesses us and the goodness of God causes us to change and will lead us to repentance.

The Lord Jesus knows everything about us. He knows how sinful we are and yet He came into our boat. Why should we shrink from Him?

The moment we experience God's grace, we cannot earn anymore. We are forgiven based on God's perfect knowledge of all our sins. When the Bible says that He put away sins, it is put away. Our sins, God will remember no more.

Jesus cried "It is finished!" at the Cross and God is satisfied. Jesus has perfectly met all the claims of divine holiness on our behalf. God forgave us of all our sins when Jesus died on the Cross. When we fall, we declare that "Father, I thank You for You have forgiven me.".

God is dealing with us based on the sacrifice of Christ. God has not beheld iniquity in us by virtue of the sacrifice. God sees the beauty of Christ imputed in His people. Jesus bore our sins in His body. Jesus became sin but it was a sin most holy. We are not making light of sin. We are making much of grace. Sin will have no power when we are under grace. There is a sanctifying elevating influence of grace.

People who know that they are forgiven much will love much. The Christian life is one of "Abba, Father".

We are saved and perfectly accepted by God based on Jesus Christ and His finished work.

It is God who works in us, giving us the willingness and performance to work out our salvation.

Right believing will cause us to live right. We will not be easily ruffled because of grace in our lives.

Let us be certain of our salvation.

Thank You, Father, for Your Son and the Cross.
