Who has not heard of the grace of God? A lot many are in the habit of saying "By the grace of God I am fine, or this happened" etc. But do we know Grace is so important that the Bible ends with "Grace". The last verse of the last book of the Bible, Revelations says -
" The Grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen."
The Bible ends with that blessing, the blessing of Grace for all.
But What is grace? Grace needs to be known and understood, so we give it true value.
Grace is simply the supernatural enablement and unmerited favor of the Lord. And we have this "supernatural", God given, power we call grace though we do not merit it nor deserve it. We must therefore value it and practice it.
Understand and realize that God stoops down to make us great. That is God's grace, and it really is sufficient. By His grace we have been saved many times from any mess up we could possibly imagine, known or unknown. If Grace is at work in our life, no one and nothing can harm us. God has got us covered. The popular term, "I have had a narrow escape" is in fact an unknown acknowledgement of a God given help.
Let us therefore value it by practicing Grace in our lives. Tell ourselves everyday - "the Grace of Lord Jesus is with me; I will succeed today in everything I do for the Lord and for humanity. If we are going through any challenge, say, "I receive grace from the Lord to overcome this challenge. As we continue to say it, the Holy Spirit will make sure we receive it.
If we have overcome a challenge, be aware that it was nothing but God's Grace at work. Don't believe me: Look minutely at each detail that has transpired during that challenge and see for yourself. Did something "magically" work out"? Did someone come into your life to help you? Did a sudden thought come into your mind to give you the solution? That was grace. So, remember all your narrow escapes and analyze the "escape".
Grace deserves to be valued, let us therefore value this grace and honor it. By doing God's will, in happiness, overcoming our own, we show a tiny bit of gratitude for this unmerited grace.
Grace deserves to be practiced. "Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need".
