Rich in Grace
Ephesians 2:4-10
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
2 Corinthians 9:8
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Thoughts:
Today, we focus on the "riches of His grace" mentioned in Ephesians 1:7. Unlike human giving, which often comes with the concern of "how much will be left?", God's grace is limitless and abundant.
Paul assures us that God is able to make all grace abound to us, so that in all things, at all times, we will have all that we need. This grace is not just for salvation, but for daily living, and empowers us to resist sin, to serve others, and to grow in being like Christ.
Prayer:
Reflect on areas in your life where you feel insufficient or overwhelmed. Now, picture God's grace as an endless ocean. No matter how much you need, it will never run dry. How does this change your perspective on your challenges? Whenever you feel lacking, say this: "God's grace is sufficient for me." Let this truth strengthen you to live confidently in Christ.
