Grace — Antidote for the Poisoned Mind




Grace
is the truth that Jesus came to give us. His Word proclaims that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).
In the original Greek, “grace and truth” are regarded as one item because the following verb, “came,” is used in the singular. Grace and truth are one and the same thing. 

Grace is the truth that has the power to set you free from fear, guilt, and all addictions — “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

It is the truth of grace and not of the law
that brings you true freedom. 

The truth of the law only binds you. In fact, religious bondage is one of the most crippling bondages with which a person can be encumbered. Religious bondage keeps one in constant fear, guilt, and anxiety.


The good news is that grace came
to set you free from the curse of the law.

Grace
is not a doctrine or theological subject. When Jesus talks about grace, He is talking about Himself. 
Grace is a person. 
Grace is Jesus Himself.

“For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). 

The truth that has the power
to fling wide open your prison doors
is
His grace!

His grace
is the antidote to counteract every poison in your mind! When you taste Jesus’ love and savor His loving-kindness and tender mercies, every wrong belief begins to dissolve in the glory of His love.
