YE ARE UNDER GRACE.

Romans 6:14 

For sin shall not have dominion over you:

for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

 
Believers are delivered from the law, and are dead to it; they are married to Christ and are alive unto God, as a GOD OF LOVE.
 
The curse is removed, sin is atoned for, and we stand as high in the favour of God as we possibly can.
 
We should look upon ourselves as the favorites of God, His beloved children; whom He hath reconciled to Himself by the death of His Son.
 
Grace reigns over us, rules in us, provides for us, and will glorify us.
 
Why then should we fear?
 
Of whom should we be afraid?
 
Sin is pardoned.
 
The law is magnified.
 
Justice is satisfied.
 
God is at peace with us; yea, He delights in us.
 
The world is overcome for us, and even Satan shall be bruised under our feet shortly.
 
What shall we say to these things?
 
As God is for us, and with us, who shall injure, or prevail against us?
 
All things MUST WORK together for our good; nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, we shall be more than conquerors through Him that loved us; and why?
 
Because we are not under the law, but under grace.
 
Because Jesus lives, we shall live also; our interests are identified with His.
 

On Jesus only I depend,

He is my Father, God and Friend,

My Prophet, King, and Priest,

Had I an angel's holiness,

I’d cast aside that glorious dress,

And wrap me up in Christ.
