1 Kings 3:21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. KJV

Our opening scripture is the story about two prostitutes who had children each. On a certain night, one of them slept on her child and the child died. In the middle of the night, she exchanged her dead child with the other child belonging to the other woman.

Now, when the rightful owner of the living child woke up to breastfeed her child, she found that the baby was dead. In the morning when there was light, she discerned that the dead baby wasn’t hers. Notice it was until light came that she could discern that the dead child wasn’t hers.

THE SURE FOUNDATION FOR OUR FORGIVENESS

THE SURE FOUNDATION FOR OUR FORGIVENESS

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

If the gospel is not your foundation, then you probably have a rocking and a faulty foundation. And with that kind of foundation, any storm can cause your building to fall apart. It matters what your faith is built upon. Is it your works or the cross?

The popular preaching we have heard over the years and still going on in the body of Christ is that, if you don’t forgive your brother, God will not forgive you. This is not founded on the gospel. Now someone may say, Pastor Victor but is it not in the scriptures?

GRACE: GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS AT CHRIST'S EXPENSE

Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: KJV

Grace sponsored righteousness to us. There was no way we could attain God’s righteousness by our own efforts. Thus we needed a sponsor. And grace became our sponsor to bring us righteousness as a gift.

God’s righteousness is higher than all of us just like Saul was head taller than every one of Israel. We couldn’t measure up. Hence we needed a Saviour.

THE FUTILITY OF TRUSTING IN SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE FUTILITY OF TRUSTING IN SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Luke 18:18 ¶ And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

This grace encounter is really remarkable. It is a story that is side by side about Zacchaeus in Luke 19. It shows the weakness of trusting in one’s righteousness. This rich young ruler was a hypocrite. He pretended to be something he was not. This is the state of those who trust in themselves and not in God for their righteousness. He asked Jesus “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” His emphasis was on doing instead of trusting in Jesus. Jesus knew what was in this man’s heart. He commanded him to obey the commandments. This was his reply: And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up (Luke 18:21). What an answer! This guy claimed he has kept all the Ten Commandments since his youth up.
