Let’s talk about something that I believe is one of the greatest subjects in the Bible. 

GRACE!!!

After everything Jesus did,  we don’t just have grace,  we have  “Grace UPON grace!”

So I want to give you some amazing truths that I like to call Empowerment Truths.

• EMPOWERMENT  TRUTH   #1
  God’s grace NEVER looks at  ‘Behavior’;  IT LOOKS FOR BLOOD!  
  This revelation annoys religion.    
  Think about the night the death angel went to Egypt. The ONLY instruction he 
  was given was, “When you see the blood, judgment denied…Pass over the house”
  (Exodus 12).
  Notice how God didn’t say: 
  ~Go inside and see if they are living right.
  ~Go inside and check their behavior.
  ~Go inside and see if they’re smoking weed, drinking beer, eating fried chicken, or
  tattooing each other.
  ~Go inside and ask if they’ve done the “Daniel fast,” paid their tithes, and forgiven
  everyone who has ever wronged them.
  
  If the blood of an animal produced that type of grace in the Old Testament,  HOW
  MUCH MORE GRACE do we receive when our trust is in the blood of Jesus? His
  blood doesn’t just produce grace  (a covering for sin),  it also produces OVER-THE—
  TOP GRACE  (annihilation of all sin, for all people, for all eternity) independent of
  our behavior (Eph. 1:7)
  
  Religion says:
  ~Get your act together.
  ~Clean up your act!
  ~Act holy. Act right. Act saved.
  
  If everyone in the church got their act together, the church would be filled with
  actors. God doesn’t want actors; He desires authenticity.
  STOP TRYING to act right: START TRUSTING that the blood of Jesus has MADE 
  YOU RIGHT, and judgment will NEVER step into your house.
  
  That’s called:  OVER~THE~TOP~GRACE!  It’s ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GRACE!
