Much More: God’s Abounding Grace Over Sin

“Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” (Romans 5:20) Jesus’ cry of “Tetelestai!” from the cross means “It is finished.” In New Testament times, that word marked a paid debt.

Standing “in Christ,” we face God clothed in His perfect righteousness, not our own sin.
