Walk in the Spirit….Grace


Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need

Our walk with our Father, is a walk of grace. 
Every letter Paul wrote, begins and ends with grace. Grace envelops all the teachings of the letters. You could say the Christian life begins with grace and it will end with grace. 
In our gatherings, fellowships, churches, we often say "the grace" at the end of our meetings, to some of us, it is just a way of ending meetings. However, it is much more than that. 

The grace of God is a gift from our Father, it is His divine enablement towards us, to become who He wants us to be and to fulfill His assignment for our lives. When we are confronted with our sinfulness as we approach His throne, His mercy, through His blood, speaks on our behalf as our righteousness is just like filthy rags.




Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV)
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. 

Ephesians 2:8-10 (MSG)
Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.

Jesus is full of grace and truth!

John 1:14 (NKJV)
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:17 (NKJV)
"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" 

What we are in Him, our skills, intelligence, achievements, etc are a product of His grace, as it’s written.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (NKJV)
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Let us walk in the consciousness of His grace at all times. It is always available!
