Grace is one of God's most amazing gifts. It provides us with everything we need to live in perfect freedom: pardon for our sins, healing for our hearts, the companionship of God's indwelling Holy Spirit, and access to freely cultivate our relationship with Him.
We work, worship, and enjoy life surrounded by His unconditional love through this gift of Grace.
His grace upholds us, fills us, and sustains us through thick and thin as we journey along life in different terrains.
Since we are forgiven people, the Lord responds to us not as enemies but as His dearly loved children . Hear how Paul beautifully describes it-:
“For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba Father!”
He hears our prayers, speaks to us, and acts on our behalf.
The knowledge that we live under the covering of God's grace gives us so much, in addition to the following-:
Security about our position. No one can snatch us out of His hand . ( John 10:28)
Boldness to live for Christ. Nothing anyone does or says can shake our confidence in who the Lord is or who we are in Him.
Peace for today because we can fully trust in His sovereignty. The Lord is carrying out His perfect will--and we can be sure that nothing is able to thwart His plans when we cooperate with Him.
Hope for the future. This life is just the beginning. One day we'll see Jesus face to face, be perfected as the individuals He created us to be, and live with Him in our true home forever. John the beloved captured it clearly in these words-: “Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [as God's children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He [really] is.”
The Lord is committed to transforming each of us according to His special plan for our lives. Even His correction is an expression of His loving favor as the Hebrew writer describes in the 12th chapter and 10th verse.
When we falter or fail, we can be rest assured that His amazing grace hems us in and always offers us redemption as his Spirit convicts us and never gives us rest until we respond in repentance.
It is therefore untrue for people who live in flagrant disobedience of His command and influence others to do so, to say “Grace covers it all”. Hear the conclusion of the whole matter-: “For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward].”Hebrews 10:26 AMPC.
Better still what Apostle Peter the Rock has to say regarding this-: “It would have been much better for them never to have experienced the way of righteousness than to know it and then turn away from the sacred obligation that was given to them.”2 Peter 2:21 TPT.
Grace refers to the enabling power and spiritual empowerment offered through the mercy and love of God expressed in the gift of His son Jesus Christ to his world.ill help us live an amazing Christian lifestyle.le.10th verse.’s Son, and who scorns the blood of the new covenant that made him holy, and who mocks the Spirit of grace?”Hebrews 10:29 TPT.
