THE REALITY OF GOD'S GRACE

MEMORIZE: “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.” Acts 4:33

SCRIPTURE READING: “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” Romans 5:6-9.

EXPOSITION:

The purpose of studying this topic is to impress upon our hearts the importance of God’s grace in our day to day Christian life. Also, divine expectation as in individual response to God given grace. The Greek word “CHARIS” means grace, benefit, gift, liberality, or favour. The revelation and manifestation of grace ring from Genesis to Revelation (Gen. 6:8; Rev. 22:21). Why was the grace of God so important in the experience of the early Christian? Acts 4:38. There are Two Scriptural Aspects of God’s Grace:

i. God’s Unmerited Favour: Even though we were sinners, deserving of judgment, God looked upon us in love and forgave us. Eph. 2:8-9.

ii. God’s Enabling Power: Not only does His grace make us accepted into the family of God, but it also provides the power we need to live the Christian life. 2 Thess. 2:16-17; Acts 14:26.

Note: In salvation, not only is God’s unmerited favour expressed but also is God’s enabling power – for it is only by His power that we can be transformed. This principle of grace continues through our walk with God. In every area of our Christian lives, it is God’s grace that causes us to grow and be strong in order and helps us bear fruits of the kingdom. 

It is through the enabling grace we receive power to do the unusual in terms of miracles and healing. Things that we could not have done through our natural strength are done by the enabling power of His grace. While unmerited favour made us worthy of being enlisted in the kingdom service, the enabling power makes us instruments of God’s wonders in the body of Christ to the world. We are who grace makes us to be. May His grace be abound in us more and more in our daily living in Jesus Name.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, Give me Your grace, abundant grace to follow you and be who you want me to be for you and for the good of humanity in Jesus name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Numbers 34-36.
