WORD: EASY
DEFINED: Not difficult. Convenient.
SCRIPTURE: For
the Grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"
It is not
always easy to live a Christian life. We make so many mistakes. As
Christians living the life that God desires we live can be hard. But one
of the biggest mistakes we can make is making the life that God calls
us to live impossible. It's easy to see all the standards in the Old
Testament and just believe that it's impossible to match up. Grace
teaches us that we have been redeemed. It is paying a price to regain
something that will otherwise be forfeited. Jesus Christ gave himself as
a man for men. He knows what you are going through, he understands your
temptation, your struggles - the Bible says that he was tempted in
everyway just as we are. Jesus cared so much for the forgotten and the
loney in society - he touched when he didn't have to. He taught when he
was tired. He prayed when he needed guidance. He came as the perfect
sacrifice for sins. He came to redeem us from all
wickedness.
His grace in
our lives make us his people. When Ephesians speaks of being sealed with
the redemption through the holy spirit - it means that we are living
Chirst like lives. We are seeking his will, and to the best of our
ability we are growing in him. Being a person of God - is not a
gimmick. It is not something we do once or twice and we are done. AND
SO IT WAS, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were
astonished at His teachings, in which He was teaching because the truth
He spoke contrasted with what the scribes taught. They were teachers who
interpreted the Law to the people. Jesus was the one who challenged the
long held teachings of the scribes and beliefs of the people. He was
speaking with authority (Matthew 7:28-29), and saying things that were
not like the things the scribes in their lives had taught them.
