THE NATURE OF GOD’S GRACE – Part 1

MEMORIZE: “And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.” Romans 11:6.

SCRIPTURE READING: Ephesians 2:4-5.

EXPOSITION:

By nature, I mean the essential qualities or characteristics by which the grace of God is recognized. Nature is the complex of emotional and intellectual attributes that determine a person’s characteristic actions and reaction.

The Nature of God’s Grace includes:

1. It is gift of God and unmerited. “And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.” Romans 11:6; You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” Gal. 5:4.

2. It is propel by the love of God towards mankind. “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” Eph. 2:4-5. “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8.

3. It was established right from the foundation of the world – “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” 2 Timothy 1:8-10.

4. It is unlimited. It operation goes beyond ethnic, language, and racial religions and barriers. – "But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they." Acts 15:11; John 1:11-12; 3:16.

Action Point: Above all other things, cherish and desire grace until you see it manifesting in your daily life.
