Sir, it is not grace that causes sin to abound, it is the law. Oh! How deep the devil has confused the church. Chidi Jacob

The greatest lie the devil has sold to the church is that grace causes people to sin. But how is that possible? It is like saying that taking your shower makes people dirty. There is no man who values his cleanliness who will want to get dirty. No, he chooses where and how he sits to make sure, he is not stained.

But due to the ignorance and unbelief in the heart of many preachers, when they mention grace, their next thought or sermon turns to sin. You will hear them, say, yes there is grace but that does not mean we can sin. As a result, today, when people hear you mention grace they see you as someone who is promoting sin. Look, the devil is smart. How can he make you run away from your solution if not to make it look like it is your problem.

For those who quote Romans 6:1 - shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? If you can only read not the whole bible but just the next line, you will realize that the answer to your question is in the next line. So, if you know the answer, you will not ask the question. The answer is NOT NOT NOT and NEVER NEVER EVER possible, for how can a man who is dead to sin live any longer by it. When it comes to the believer in Christ, sin and righteousness is about dead or alive. If you are dead to sin, you are not looking for excuse to sin.

Until pastors and teachers realize this, they will continue to hinder the gospel of Jesus without knowing they are doing so. There is no man who experiences the grace of God in Christ Jesus who runs around looking for how to sin because of grace. It just does not happen. Anyone who does though he may know grace as a subject has not experienced it in their heart. For sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under grace -Romans 6:14. If you turn Romans 6:14 the other way, it means that if you put yourself under the law, sin shall have dominion over you. Remember, the bible says that  sin comes by the knowledge of the law.

No one goes to get HIV because a cure has been discovered. Grace is God's perfect cure for sin and until people take it in, they will continue to struggle with sin.

Can you believe this? - The Spelling of Righteousness in Traditional Chinese language

First, How old is the Chinese language?

"The Chinese language is the oldest written language in the world with at least six thousand years of history. Chinese character inscriptions have been found in turtle shells dating back to the Shang dynasty¹ (1766-1123 BC) proving the written language has existed for more than 3,000 years" Source https://ethnomed.org/culture/chinese/chinese-language-profile

 

So, how did the ancient and traditional Chinese spell righteousness? And what does it mean in  respect to the prophecies about a certain lamb that would cover our sins and  give us a right standing before God - Righteousness.

The pictograph that means righteousness is a combination of two pictures - Lamb/sheep over the letter Me or I. When you put it together it means Lamb over Me.

The Lamb Over Me

The Chinese character for “Righteousness” is pictorially composed of two words: A “Lamb” that is written over “Me”.

There is an interesting theory that certain Chinese characters derive their root and meaning from the book of Genesis.  The theory is that after the Great Dispersion following the fall of Tower of Babel, those who migrated eastward would have had knowledge (passed down orally) of stories like Adam and Eve, Cain and Able, The Great Flood, etc, since it was passed down from one generation to another. So following along that thread, it would make sense that perhaps some of these commonly known stories and ideas were translated into pictures, which eventually became words. Google: Chinese characters in Genesis to find out more information.

The word “Righteousness” is a significant word for us because it defines why we do what we do. I believe that at the cross, Jesus imputed His Righteousness on us and took upon himself our sin, our shame, our dead works. Because we could never attain to the standard of righteousness that God demands, Jesus, who was perfect and sinless – All Righteous – did it for us. And thus, I am not righteous because of what I do or don’t do, but rather, I am righteous because of what Jesus did. I don’t and can’t earn righteousness by what I do because it’s not an act but a state of being in Christ. It is in this ultimate demonstration of love that I find my identify. And as Christ rose from the dead victorious, So I am made alive in Christ, righteous and in good standing before God.

Here’s the truth, we do good works from a place of righteousness and not for righteousness. This is what I believe as a Christian. It is at foundation of my beliefs and is at the core of everything I value.

I don’t know whether or not the Chinese language has its origin in the book of Genesis but what I do know is that Christ is The Lamb over me and that I am covered by His Righteousness
