Grace and peace be
multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God.
2 Peter 1:2,
Ephesians 2:8
Grace in mentioned around 170 times in
the Bible. I would like to study God’s Grace in todays and several following
devotions.
God’s Grace is
a favour and an unfathomable gift that we receive from God even though we do
not deserve it. It is God's unmerited favour. God’s Grace is different from
God’s Mercy. Mercy is God withholding judgment and punishment that we deserve;
grace is God giving us blessings that we do not deserve. Because of God's
mercy, we do not receive God’s judgment against our sins; because of
God's grace, we receive eternal life and a promise of heaven though we do not
deserve them. We receive both God’s Mercy and Grace through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Lord I praise You and
glorify You. Thank You God for the riches of Your grace. Thank You that You
have said that as Your child I can come boldly to Your throne of grace, and
obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16.
I come boldly to Your throne of grace and ask You to help me always seek first
Your kingdom and Your righteousness, for Jesus said that when we seek them
first, all other things will be added unto us. In Jesus’ name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves
youIn Him,
Wagdi Henein
