BENEFITS OF GRACE
“so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
Titus 3:7
Main Text: Main text: Acts 15:11
Grace is a Spiritual Virtue with an endless possibilities and benefits. One day of grace from God is worth more than a lifetime of labor. Christianity is a lifestyle of Grace. It is the grace of God demonstrated through the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that distinguishes Christianity from other religions of the World. Grace is a powerful Spiritual force. When your life is void of Grace, it will be full of disgrace. Whatever you are today, whatever you have today and whatever you can become or achieve in the future is at the mercy of the grace of God.
One of the benefits of Grace is that it brings Salvation. We are saved by grace, not by works. The good works of man cannot purchase the Salvation of his soul. No matter how good we are morally, intellectually, and socially, we cannot redeem our own souls by our works of self-righteousness. We are saved by the grace of God through faith in the finished works of Christ. Furthermore, Grace is justification. We are Justified by Grace. To be justified means to be officially declared innocent, blameless, not guilty, discharged and acquitted.
It is the grace of God that enables us to grow in the knowledge of God. It is by grace that we are transformed from glory to glory. It takes the grace of God to engage the word of God.
Confession:
I am the body of Christ, therefore Satan has no power over me, I am engraced for victory, I am a star!
