Read: Romans 5:15-21
The Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the most visited homes in the US. It was built in the 1930s and named after the original owners great aunt, Grace. It later became famous as the home of Elvis Presley.
I love the name Graceland because it describes the amazing territory into which God placed me when He forgave me of my sin and made me His own. He took me out of the darkness and brought me into His own graceland.
The apostle Paul says that the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many (Rom. 5:15). Ill be forever thankful that the many includes me and that Gods love has transferred me into the territory of His marvelous, infinite, matchless grace!
Think of the blessing of being in Gods graceland. It is a realm where He has given us entrance into His presence and where that same grace continues to overflow into our lives on a daily basis. Paul tells us that even in times of despair God showers us with sufficient grace to see us through (see 2 Cor. 12:9).
No matter what life may bring, nothing can remove us from the realm of Gods grace.
Amen! ;-)
