The final much more of the much more chapter is found in verse twenty. Thank the Lord, thank Jesus, thank the Holy Spirit for much more abounding grace. Thank the Lord that grace, His grace, will never run out, that it will always be much more abounding. Law made me an offence to God. The law of sin made me an offence to God. My actions when controlled by my flesh make me an offence to God. The secret thoughts of my mind often make me an offence to God. The words that come out of my mouth often make me an offence to God. My deceitful heart makes me an offence to God. How can these things coming from within me be overcome? The much more abounding grace of God. By the grace of God all that I named bad in me, and there is much more of those as well, can be overcome, can be put away, by the much more abounding grace of God. The old man that is in me can be put off and the new man that is in me by the Holy Spirit can be put on by the grace of God. And then when the battle is at its most fierce I can count on the much more abounding grace of God to gain the victory. Thank Him today for much more abounding grace.
