The Grace of God

 

James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.



Hebrews 4:16 - Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

 

One day Jesus heard our prayer: “I am a sinner, and I need a Saviour.” He heard, found us dying in sin and reached down to save us. And as our High Priest, He also changed us from where we were, to a place that has all the grace we will ever need as long as we live, until we are finally and fully restored at the resurrection and go home with Him. 

 

So, how can we have a Saviour and High Priest like this and not draw near to Him in prayer? “But, I’m tired” you say. That’s ok, just draw near, “But you don’t understand. I’m hurting and I feel like quitting.” Others may not understand, but Jesus does. Just draw near to Him. He will meet you where you are, then take you where He is---before the throne that dispenses grace!

 

Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

 

We were dead in trespasses and sin, God saved us by His grace, raising us now to heavenly places in Christ Jesus, and we will someday be in heaven displaying the grace of God. None of this depends on our own works or merit, “for by grace ye have been saved.”

 

Ephesians 4:7 - But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

 

2 Timothy 2:1 - Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.


We are saved by grace, and now we are to live by the grace of God and be strong in that grace.
