Grace abound the more

[rosered]

  I was  thinking how hard it is for  everyone  who never reads  their bible  and can find some comfort in the scriptures .

But there must be a start ......sharing mine  here .
 
I remember not being able to even read it  at all , it was as if the book was sealed   and could not understand any of it at all.

I remember being 23  and we just lost my only brother   Tom at 20   we was 2 months away from being 21 .   and he died on my dads 47 th birthday .

I can remember how   this caused   the whole family  to fall apart   , just trying to accept it . I thought why did God do this ? 
A lot of things kept racing though my head   , like a  tornado   whirling in every direction and there was no peace what so ever in it .

Pleading with God for some answer  , please God help me understand your  plan  , I don't get it ...
  There a stages of grief  to   go though .

In this life , I do believe the man of sin suffers  much loss ,  the son of perdition utter disaster, ruin, or destruction.

Everything we think in our little world crumbles  in a moment   and in that moment you cannot  see anything good in it .

Now it is  grieving for everyone whom  is in that place  and praying for them  ,  Knowing God comforts us  in mourning . first scripture was Ecc 9  , when nothing anyone could say  to help  ease  this pain and torment   of not knowing anything  but death , God /  Life  answered  .

God has answered mightly though the Lord Jesus Christ   , my true friend , I can honestly say now I love Him  with a clean conscience  , by removing a lot of the guilt   that our sin nature   rises up  in us  in times when we are put to the test .

Learning to lean on Him   in every way has become   a joy , that was  never possible when I never knew Him  like now .
I would turn away  in my shame  before  and  struggle in my sins , that is so hard to  overcome   and took many years and  trials of faith   to make   me finally realize   , I will always fail   in my weakness  , but  He is our strength    in those times , learning to call out to  Jesus   and ask Him for the right kind of help  , not my own   ideas   of what is the right thing to do  and learning to wait on Him  , which was  soooo   hard to do at first   , it was killing me to wait  and see what God would do  , but God proved faithful every time , and in ways I  could have never imagined  them to be !!
'
So wanting everyone to be delivered    from   that pain and torment  , it is a  misery  .
  I know  God can and will do it     because    He is willing , the Spirit is willing when the flesh is weak ....we learn these things though the experiences  .
  I hope everyone can recall GOD  answering a prayer   so perfectly  that their faith has increased    and God helps them to grow in truth and that amazing grace   that really does abound the more . and more as the world seems like chaos   to them now .

    Death has to come first before  Life /Jesus can make everything new  , and death has many forms  by which to kill us by , not just literally . but that  last enemy is death    before Christ comes to us all ... 
     
 
We are comforted by the Word and the Spirit of God being  Life  itself  within us  moving the mountains of sin and unbelief out of the way so we can see Jesus   in the end .

Romans 5 Death in Adam, Life in Christ

...19For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20The Law was given so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

21so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness, to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord....

Romans 3:20
Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the Law. For the Law merely brings awareness of sin.

Romans 6:1
What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?  no way .


2 Corinthians 3:7
Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,

Galatians 3:19
Why then was the Law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.

1 Timothy 1:14
And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. :HeartThrob:

Great post Rose! It's so true, needing to learn to lean on God and pray and wait...He is faithful and never fails. I'm still learning to do this in my life. It can be so discouraging with all the pain and loss in this world. Your post is a great reminder of how to live.
