Attributes of God’s Love – 3
Grace - The Generosity of Love
1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
We are looking at the attributes of God that shows His love toward us. We
have looked at His compassion, His kindness, and today we are looking at
His grace.
Ephesians 2:7 - That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his
grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
There’s an acronym used often that looks like this, G – God’s – R – Riches
– A – At – C- Christ’s – E – Expense.
2 Peter 3:18 - But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Another command from God’s Word that we as believers should obey.
2 Corinthians 8:7 - Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
Here we are told to abound in grace; that word abound means to excel, to
overflow with grace. That same type of grace that God has shown to all
believers.
