Romans 5:21-22 "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
Grace: "good will, loving-kindness, favour." The merciful kindness of God to us. This grace is what reigns.
When we think of reigning, we generally think of a king or monarch. As a reigning king, that person possesses complete control. The king is the highest authority.
For a long time, sin was that king, reigning with a terrible tyranny that ended in death. However, that king has been dethroned, cast off forever, conquered! A new king is sitting on that throne - Grace.
The reign of grace came through Jesus' righteousness. And its blessed reign leads to live eternal.
If I picture grace as a king, what would that look like practically in my life today?Do I feel like I am living under the reign of grace today?
