RECEIVE WHAT GRACE HAS ACCOMPLISHED ON YOUR BEHALF

“Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,” II Timothy 1:9 (NKJV)

Ever before the world began, God has already packaged everything and hidden it in His heart concerning the new creation. Before the world began, God packaged everything and waited for the appointed time to unveil His master plan.

Look at what the scripture says: “But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.” (2 Timothy 1:10-11 KJV)

Our assignment is to preach the gospel. If we don’t preach, the gospel will not be heard. And if the gospel is not heard, people will not be saved. “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14 KJV). It is through the preaching of the gospel that people will be told that their sins had been forgiven in Christ.

The only thing that sends anyone to hell is refusing Jesus. Is sin right? No! So, why will it not send you to hell? Because those sins have been paid for by Jesus Christ. If you fail to accept the price He paid, that is what will send you to hell.

A table has been prepared for you. The napkin is ready, and your cutlery is there. You have a position on the table. You have an invitation. And you say you won’t go. You won’t blame the person who prepared the table. He has already provided for you. The only reason you are hungry is that you refused to accept the invitation. Accept what grace has accomplished on your behalf.
