Eternity Grace

"Therefore there is now no condemnation 
for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Romans 8:1

What is there, now?
  
Freedom, and grace!  

We are free from the law of sin and death, 
we have freedom to set our minds on things above,
we have freedom to please God,
and we live now in the current condition 
and wonder and miracle of grace, 
the favor of God,
because of Jesus Christ!  

Now, and for all of eternity.

Are you familiar with Ephesians 2:7?  
The verse before that one says that we were raised up with Christ, and seated with Him in the heavenly places.  
Now here's verse 7...
"...so that in the ages to come 
He might show the surpassing riches of His grace 
in kindness towards us."

Heaven and the coming ages 
are going to be a showcase of the grace of God, 
of His favor towards us!  

What will that look like?

How will that be manifested?
  
We will continue in the ages to come to be witnesses
and beneficiaries of God's marvelous grace!  

Oh how we are loved!

May this freedom and grace in which we now stand
put a skip into your step, 
obedience in your heart and actions, 
and praise upon your lips today!
