In Christ Jesus: Grace is more abound than my sin.

 What a triumphant declaration of the Gospel’s core truth! **Where sin abounded, grace did *much more abound*** (Romans 5:20). Here’s a celebration of that infinite, conquering grace—woven with Scripture:

### **GRACE MORE ABOUND THAN OUR SIN**  

*A Hymn of Holy Asymmetry*


**Sin runs deep—**  

A flood of shame, a weight within,  

A debt no soul could pay.  

>*“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”*  

>**—Romans 3:23**  


**But grace runs deeper—**  

An ocean vast, a tide that wins,  

Washing guilt away!  

>*“Where sin increased, grace increased all the more!”*  

>**—Romans 5:20**  


**Sin cries *guilty*—**  

It stains the heart and blinds the eyes,  

A tyrant’s cruel decree.  

>*“The wages of sin is death...”*  

>**—Romans 6:23**  


**But grace cries *PARDONED*—**  

In Christ, the curse defied!  

*“...But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord!”*  

>**—Romans 6:23**  


**Sin shouts *condemnation*—**  

Dark, accusing, cold, and grim...  

>*“There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus!”*  

>**—Romans 8:1**  


**Grace roars *JUSTIFIED*—**  

God’s own righteousness on him!  

>*“He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.”*  

>**—Romans 4:25**  


**Sin binds tightly—**  

Chains no will can break alone.  

>*“Everyone who sins is a slave to sin.”*  

>**—John 8:34**  


**Grace breaks freely—**  

By the blood-stained, empty throne!  

>*“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free!”*  

>**—Galatians 5:1**  


**Sin scars deeply—**  

Wounds that fester, ache, and burn.  

>*“I do not do the good I want to do... waging war against my mind.”*  

>**—Romans 7:19, 23**  


**Grace heals wholly—**  

Power to repent, to turn!  

>*“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”*  

>**—2 Corinthians 12:9**  


**Sin says *“Too far gone”—***  

“Lost beyond redemption’s claim.”  

>*“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”*  

>**—Romans 5:8**  


**Grace says *“Come home”—***  

“I bore your sin, your blame, your shame!”  

>*“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”*  

>**—Isaiah 1:18**

### 🔑 **Why Grace Always Wins**  

> *“For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!”*  

> **—Romans 5:17**  


- **Grace is a Person** — *Jesus* (John 1:17)  

- **Grace is a Gift** — *Undeserved* (Ephesians 2:8)  

- **Grace is a Power** — *To transform* (Titus 2:11–12)  

- **Grace is Eternal** — *Outlasting all sin* (Romans 5:21)

### ✨ **A Prayer of Surrender**  

> *“Lord Jesus—  

> My sin is great, but Your grace is greater.  

> I lay down my striving, my shame, my failure.  

> Flood my soul with Your ‘much more’ grace—  

> To forgive, to heal, to free, to empower.  

> Reign in me today. Amen.”*

### **PROMISES TO HOLD**  

- **His grace COVERS:**  

  *“You will again have compassion on us; You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”*  

  **—Micah 7:19**  

- **His grace SUSTAINS:**  

  *“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”*  

  **—2 Corinthians 12:9**  

- **His grace PURIFIES:**  

  *“The blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.”*  

  **—1 John 1:7**  

- **His grace TRANSFORMS:**  

  *“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”*  

  **—Philippians 1:6**  


**Run to the throne of grace—it never runs out (Hebrews 4:16). Your sin is finite. His grace? INFINITE.** 🌊✨
