“The God of ALL Grace

 “The God of ALL Grace”

And the God of ALL grace, who called you to His Eternal Glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.    1 Peter 5:10

There are different aspects of God’s Grace, in which a TRUE BELIEVER moves.  John 1:16 tells us: “From the FULLNESS of His Grace we have all received one blessing after another.”  So let us look into the FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT aspect, which is SAVING GRACE, without this GRACE, we would not be able to experience the other aspects of the FULLNESS of God’s Grace.  

SAVING GRACE:  Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us:  “For it is by GRACE you have been SAVED through FAITH—and this is NOT from your selves, it is the Gift of God—NOT by WORKS, so that NO ONE can boast.” REMEMBER, GRACE is receiving what we don’t deserve, and we, on our own merits, do NOT deserve the SALVATION of our WRETCHED, SINFUL soul, which is SAVED from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS. And we RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, because of the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, whose BLOOD WASHES away the sins of those who will come to the foot of the cross, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM their SINFUL LIFE-STYLE, and TURN TO GOD in FAITH, for their SAVING GRACE.

SANCTIFYING GRACE:  “Now I commit you to God and the Word of His Grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among ALL who are SANCTIFIED.”  Acts 20:32.  The Apostle Paul believed that he was the least of the Apostles, but because of God SAVING GRACE, he said: “I am what I am, and His GRACE to me was NOT without effect.  No, I worked HARDER than all of them—yet NOT I, but the GRACE of GOD that was with me.  (1 Corinthians 15:10) Paul was SET APART for GOD’S PURPOSES.  He had received SANCTIFYING GRACE. 

STRENGTHENING GRACE: “I Thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me STRENGTH, that He considered me FAITHFUL, appointing me to His Service.”  (1 Timothy 1:12). Through God’s STRENGTHENING GRACE, Jesus Christ our Lord, we have the STRENGTH to SERVE Him, with WHATEVER He want us to DO or WHEREVER He wants us to GO.  He not only EQUIPS us, but we can DO and GO with the CONFIDENCE that He has given us His STRENGTHENING GRACE.

Have you experienced the FULLNESS of GOD’S GRACE?  If you have NOT come to Him for the SALVATION of your soul, you have not experienced His GRACE.  And your destiny is NOT GOOD.  If you KEEP REJECTING GOD’S GRACE, by REJECTING JESUS as your SAVIOR and LORD, then your DESTINY is an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  To CHANGE that DESTINY, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.   You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION and EXPERIENCE the FULLNESS of GOD’S GRACE.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
