THE NATURE OF GOD’S GRACE – Part 2

MEMORIZE: “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.” - 2 Tim. 1:9.

SCRIPTURE READING: 2 Timothy 1:8-10.

EXPOSITION:

Yesterday we started by discussing four points from the nature of God’s grace. Today, we shall continue from point number five. 

5. It is one of God’s infinite attributes. “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”- Eph. 1:2; “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.” - 2 Tim. 1:9.

6. It is the foundation for our service and strength for the daily Christian living – “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood.” Gal. 1:15-16; “And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Cor. 12:9; “Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” 1 Thess. 2:16.

7. It is out of the medium through which we were saved. For we are save by grace through faith and blood of Jesus. “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” Ephesians 2:5,8.

8. It is Christian enabling power for profitable kingdom service. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13.

Whatever grace is not doing in a Christian life, human power cannot achieve it. We must desire more of His grace everyday of our lives till we see Him face to face. The more of Him we possess daily will determine how relevant we can be our Christian living and in His kingdom service.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, I cherish and desire your grace to be at work in me every day of my life to be useful in your kingdom on earth in Jesus Name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Deuteronomy 4-6.
