One of the most precious gift you can receive from God is his grace. It is the free gift from God that he gives to all of mankind. The scripture states in Matthew 5:45: “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” This scripture alone shows you how great and merciful our God is. He allows everyone another chance to see the next day including people that choose not to serve him. He creates opportunities for us to make a change to become children of God. Having said that, I want to go over a few things to remind us on how important the gift of grace is from God.
“for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of ourselves: it is the Gift of God”
When certain situations happen in our life, we tend to call it luck. However, I am here to remind you that it’s through God’s grace why we overcome obstacles that we face in our daily life. It is because of God’s Grace we can wake up each morning, prosper, and do great things through him. God’s Grace is a precious gift from him to us and we should honor and cherish it because he still gives it to us even though we do not deserve it. We are nothing without Christ.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) And had raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”
Keep this in mind - it is by the grace of God why you received that job you have been pursuing, the beautiful home you live in, the car accident you walked out alive from, and the health issue(s) that you were cured from. It’s not by chance but it is God’s grace AND that’s why it’s important to make God the head of our lives and sing praises to unto him because we serve a graceful God.
“That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life”
When Jesus made himself a living sacrifice, he gave us a second chance to have life and to live it more abundantly. As we continue to spread the good news and to be ambassadors for Christ, we can remind others about the goodness of God and that every breath we take is because of his grace and mercy. We must wake up each day knowing that it is not of our own doing while we are alive and well, so I am encouraging someone to seek him before it is too late. Let us not take this gift from God for granted but let us continue to walk in his Will and under his guidance. This is the only way to live a free and fulfilling life. He more than deserves all the honor and praise. I pray that this message would be a reminder to us all. God Bless you.
