50 days of intimacy with the holy spirit (3)

DAY 43

Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or
three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be
punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy
thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of
grace?
Hebrews 10:28-29 NIV
Under the Old covenant judgement for breaking the law was harsh indeed. There was,
and is and never will be a single person that can perfectly keep the commands of the
old covenant . Only Jesus did and His blood saves all of us who were condemned by
the righteous and holy requirements of the old covenant.
The new covenant is the covenant of grace. It's the covenant whereby we receive
forgiveness of sin and all the promises and blessings of our salvation because of the
finish work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This has been God's plan all along - even before
creation. His plan was that fallen man would be saved by the blood of His son as an act
of grace. Anyone who rejects this truth remains dead in their sin and will perish in their
old life or will perish in their futile attempts to still remain and keep the old covenant.
They are in truth rejecting the Grace of God and in so doing insulting the Holy Spirit,
who is called the Spirit of grace.
This is His most beautiful title - The Spirit of Grace. As the Spirit of grace the Holy
Spirit applies the blood and the grace of Jesus to our lives. This means He restores us
completely so that we can live the most amazing lives. He restores us personally from
the affects and ravages of sin and pain and all trauma we might have experienced. He
restores our minds, emotions, paradigms and sense of worth. He does a deep and
thorough work in us. He gives us a plan, hope and a future.
He fills our lives with the grace of God,- unearned, unmerited favor - so that you can
enjoy your best life now, because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Grace.
