“Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
As kingdom people, we confess that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We profess with our lips that Jesus died and rose from the dead for the salvation of the world. We asked for the forgiveness of our sins and for the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts. For us living the kingdom life, it means that Christ has risen in us. When are we going to start believing that Christ is in us and that we are in Christ? 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you (Galatians 4:19). Obedience to God’s will is what forms Christ inside us as kingdom people. We must be committed to living the kingdom life and allowing Jesus to rise inside us so that we can become of maximum service to the kingdom of God by being the light and salt to the world.

Prayer¹
My Creator, thank You that having been saved by grace through faith in Christ, I can progress to spiritual maturity as I live by grace through faith in Him. Help me to see that it is not my own works that are pleasing in the sight of God… but Christ living in me and working through me – so that it is not I that live but Christ that lives in me. May I live my life to Your praise and glory by grace through faith and not of works of the flesh.. in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
