Grace

Someone once said “When a person works an eight-hour daily and receives a fair day’s pay for his time that is a wage. When a person competes with an opponent and receives a trophy for his performance that is a prize. When a person receives appropriate recognition for his long service or meritorious achievement that is an award. But when a person is not capable of earning a wage, can win no prize, and deserves no award; yet receives a gift; that is a good picture about the grace of God.”

By implication, grace is earning what you do not deserve at all. It is God’s free gift of salvation for all, and the gateway into heaven at the instance of repentance from sin through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. The scripture says “….all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”.

We all inherited the nature of sin as a result of the disobedience of Adam and Eve, our first parents. Consequently, we all deserve God’s wrath, judgment, punishment and condemnation. But instead, God gave us justification by grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. And now, we are not only free from sin to live godly in this present world; we also have hope of going to be with the Lord in eternity.

Grace is commonly defined as God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. Grace runs through every aspect of the work of redemption. There’s grace for all situations and circumstances that you are facing or may have to face as a Christian. Also, at every stage of your walk with God, there’s sufficient grace.it nurtures a soul from the point of salvation, which is obtainable at the cross, to the place of eternal rest.

The Grace of God saves you from struggling with sin and its heavy burden. It is available to sanctify and make you perfect through the blood of the lamb. The grace helps you maintain a constant walk with God and remain secured in faith. It keeps you secured in spite of increased iniquities around you. Grace enables you to serve God more effectively as a child of God.

Finally, grace sustains you on this pilgrimage, it also helps you in time of need to enable you continue in the heavenly journey, especially during times of adversity and suffering. May God give you the grace to maintain a constant walk with Him in Jesus name, Amen. HAPPY NEW WEEK.
