MUCH MORE!
TEXTS: ROMANS 5:17, MATTHEW 7:11, ROMANS 5:9 (NIV)
KEY VERSE: …”…much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.”
INTRODUCTION: In Romans 5:17, Paul highlights the incredible truth that through Jesus Christ, believers receive an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, enabling them to reign in life. This study explores the concept of “much more” in the context of God’s promises and provisions for His children.
STUDY:
- A BETTER COVENANT AND BETTER PROMISES:
- Hebrews 8:6 affirms that we are in a better covenant established upon better promises because of what Christ has done for us. The glory of the new covenant surpasses that of the old covenant, as seen in 2 Corinthians 3:6-11.
- GOD’S ABUNDANT PROVISIONS FOR HIS CHILDREN:
- Isaiah 54:17 declares the heritage of the servants of the Lord, assuring them of protection and righteousness from the Lord. As children of God, we can expect even greater blessings and provision from our Heavenly Father who loves us dearly.
- THE POWER OF CHRIST’S SACRIFICE:
- The effects of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross far exceed the consequences of Adam’s sin (Romans 5:17). Through Christ, we experience the “much more” effect, receiving abundant grace, righteousness, and victory over sin and death.
- Assurance of Salvation and Divine Care:
- Romans 5:9 assures believers that since we have been justified by Christ’s blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath. As our earthly parents delight in providing for their children, our Heavenly Father is even more committed to caring for us, His beloved children.
CONCLUSION: THE CONCEPT OF “MUCH MORE” UNDERSCORES THE EXTRAVAGANT LOVE, GRACE, AND PROVISION OF GOD FOR HIS CHILDREN. THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, WE HAVE ENTERED INTO A COVENANT OF ABUNDANT BLESSINGS AND PROMISES.
