Day 7 - Grace Reigns
04/06/20 • 5 min
The sins of those who belong to God open the floodgates of his heart of compassion for us.
"Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." —Romans 5:20–21 (ESV)

Day 6 - Never Cast Out
The atoning work of the Son—decreed by the Father and applied by the Spirit—ensures that we are safe eternally.
"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.'" —John 6:35–37 (ESV)

Day 8 - Saved to the Uttermost
Christ's saving always outpaces and overwhelms our sinning because he always lives to intercede for us.
"This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them." —Hebrews 7:22–25 (ESV)
