SUPERABOUNDING GRACE!

But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God’s unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded, So that, [just] as sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favor) might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord. (Romans 5:20  & 21, Amp)

There is currently much buzz about grace. Here is my take on Romans 5:20, 21. Are you ready?

God's grace SUPERABOUNDS!

Is that it, you may ask. Yep! How can grace be so simple? Here's how.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8, NKJV)

To me, the "grace message" is so obvious.


  • Would we sit on the sidelines of our financial investments and expect good fruit? 
  • Would we sit on the sidelines of our checking/savings account and expect good fruit?
  • Would we sit on the sidelines of our marriage and expect good fruit?
  • Would we sit on the sidelines of raising our children and expect good fruit?
  • Would we sit on the sidelines of our friendships and expect good fruit?


Ok, I know some do/would; however, always look at the fruit. It is simple math. 

John 15:5
