It is by the grace of God, we are saved, forgiven, receive mercy, and are justified.
Favor of God
Salvation
Forgiving mercy
It is by grace that we can move from salvation, to the next level of glory.
Grace---unmerited favor, undeserved blessing, a free gift
+ Strong's #5485 charis (khar-ece)
+ From the root word chara---joy, and chairo "to rejoice"
+ Charis--- grace causes rejoicing!!!
+ attractiveness, loveliness, affectionate, regard
+ Merciful, compassionate
This is the cry of the Father for the Church today: conviction, repentance, and sanctification.
+ Grace to bring us to a point of conviction
+ Grace to bring us to true repentance
+ Grace to refine us to the process of sanctification
Where do we find the grace of God?
1. We are saved by grace.
Romans 5:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
2. We are kept by grace.
Romans 5:1-2
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3. We abound (flourish) in grace.
II Corinthians 9:8
God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
4. We are refined with grace.
I will bring the one-third through the fire, I will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them, I will say This is My people; and each one will say, "The Lord is my God."
Just simply accept it and say thank you Father for Your grace!
