Grace!
Hello everyone,
How are you today? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

“But by the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not [found to be] for nothing (fruitless and without effect). In fact, I worked harder than all of them [the apostles], though it was not really I, but the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15v10 (AMP)
God’s grace depicts His favor. As believers, we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is a gift of God (Ephesians 2v8). For, “But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.” (Romans 5v15). It is by grace that we are who we are, and it is by grace that we will continue to stand. But we must not take the grace of God for granted, as Scripture says “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6v1-2 (KJV). Yet again, His grace with us shows His help for us, as we see in Exodus 33v16 (NLT) “How will anyone know that You look favorably on me – on me and on Your people – if You don’t go with us? For Your presence among us sets Your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.” Moreover we know that His grace is sufficient for us, for His power is made perfect in weakness. So in every weakness we can rejoice so that His power can rest on us (2 Corinthians 12v9). Need help – seek His grace.

“Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].” Hebrews 12v16 (AMP)
Father, thank You for Your grace in Jesus name, amen.
