Don’t Forget Grace
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” (Ephesians 2:8)
Today’s
Morsel: Like obedience, we see that the gift of Grace runs
throughout scripture. Paul said that it is by Grace that we
are saved. He calls it a gift from God. James tells us that every good gift and
perfect gift comes from God (James 1:17). Having this knowledge then, we ought
not to ever forget Grace. So how should we use this gift? Do we put
it in the closet, shut the door, and forget about it? Do we put it on the yard
sale because we feel that it has served its purpose? Do we put it in our will
for our children to inherit someday? Or do we reject it altogether and say, Is
this all my Heavenly Father had to give to me? You see, if it was not for
God’s Grace, where would we be? None of us would even be alive, nor
experiencing God’s salvation plan. If God had not given us Grace, we
wouldn’t have peace, truth, supplication, or wisdom to lead and guide us
through each day. You see, Grace is not only a gift, but it is
also a teacher. As Paul told Titus: “For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem
us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of
good works.” (Titus 2:11-14) When Grace is with you,
it will teach you right from wrong, and it will even help you in times of
need. Cherish the Grace that has been given to
you. It is a precious gift.
Sing: Grace, grace, God’s grace, grace that will pardon and cleanse within. Grace, grace, God’s grace, grace that is greater than all our sin.
Thought
For Today: Always cling to Grace.
