Good morning Monday....
Thank you Father for this NEW DAY!
Today,“(we will) trust in You Father with all (our) hearts and lean not on (our) own understanding; in all (our) ways (we will) acknowledge (You), and (You) shall direct (our) paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). May we choose to follow our faith today! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen!

-What Is Grace?

Today we will dive into a popular theme in The Bible. Grace. What is grace? Grace, most simply put, is undeserved mercy. Grace is being shown Divine Favor as God's Children even though we don't deserve it. Grace can also be a verb, which means giving due credit to someone or something by one's presence. It is easy to see this in Paul's writings. Not only does Paul's story show The Grace of God to save, but we also see Paul putting Grace into its verb action by "boasting in God" and not himself. Grace is not only the undeserved saving mercy, exhibiting Our Father's Character, but also something that we should put into action, as Paul did, in our Walk With Yeshua, Jesus Christ. If we want to see Ultimate Grace in Scripture, as we all know, Jesus is The Beginning and The End, the Aleph and Tav, and The Most Graceful Person To Have Ever Walked The Face of This Earth.

The word, Grace, is probably one of the most precious and far reaching words in God's Word. While many have used this word to try and make iniquity abound, Our Father's Grace Trumps All. And while the enemy may mean us evil... God's Grace Is To Use What the enemy Means For Evil, For Our Good (Genesis 50:20). The word Grace is used to also show the things that are called out of a believer: awe, admiration, enjoyment, and praise. The things we do without any expectations of receiving something in return and arising only out of our generosity, that is Grace. Grace is something that implies that The Giver and The Gift Are Intrinsically Connected. Just think God Our Father and Yeshua Jesus Christ 🔥. The Giver and The Gift Are So Connected That The Gift Can't Be Handed Over Unless The Giver Is Involved 🔥. Pretty awesome, right? Let's hear is from Jesus:

Yeshua said:

“I and My Father are one.””
‭‭John‬ ‭10:30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Our Father's Grace Is Beyond Anything We Can Imagine. He Has Done In Infinite Love What No Other Could Do. He Took Time To Come Down From Heaven, Focus Solely On Us His Children, And Redeemed Us From Certain Destruction. No wonder Our Father tells Paul:

“My grace is sufficient for you, because the power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore rather I will boast most gladly in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may reside in me.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬ ‭LEB

In this verse Paul was looking to be freed of something that was bothering him, a "thorn in his side." While God may not always deliver us from the fire He is using to refine us...He Will Walk Through That Fire With Us. In fact, I would be willing to say... He Is That Fire 🔥! And His Fire Is Full Of Grace!

“For indeed, “Our God is a consuming fire!””
‭‭Hebrews 12:29‬ ‭CJB‬‬

Biblically defined, Grace contains all that we need for each and everyday of our lives. Grace Provides: Growth of The Body, Salvation, Revival, and Restoration. We may all have our own ideas about what The Body or The Church needs to do to spark revival or growth, and they may all be good ideas, but one thing that all of our needs can be brought together under is this...Our Father's Great Grace. When all believers in Our Father and Savior allow The Grace Of God to flow through us, the world as we know it will change. Just look at when Grace was upon "ALL" the apostles and the believers of The Church shortly after Pentecost. It was the most explosive time in The Body's History following Our Savior's Resurrection. Let's take a look:

“And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:33‬ ‭NKJV

If The Grace of God is to rest upon us we must truly believe and accept Our Savior's Promise in Matthew 28:20 "I Am with you ALWAYS, even unto the end of the world." Remember, it doesn't take millions of people. It can be a big congregation or a small because "where two or three are gathered" there He Is, Grace and All. The most important thing is that He, The Mediator, The King, The Prophet, The Messiah, The Head of The Church, The One True Living God Is Present.

So, what is Grace? Grace Is A Gift From God. An Unmatchable Privilege given to us. Grace is a mercy shown that to us that is totally undeserved, and God Gives This Because of His Unmatchable Love For Us, His Children. Our Father's Grace Is Unmatched, Amazing, and A Marvelous Act. Out of His Infinite Love He Made A Way For Us To Return To Him. He Took The Guilt, Filth, and Death of our sin, the penalty that is deservedly ours, and Bore It On Himself So We Wouldn't Have To. The really really powerful part? He Didn't Just Do This For His Friends... But Also His Enemies! We were guilty. We were condemned to die. But by The Grace of God Himself, Yeshua, Jesus Christ Signed Our Pardon! HalleluYah! Now that's Grace!!!

As we go out into the world today, may we all celebrate The Grace Of The One True And Living God Almighty. God Bless Everyone and have a Great God-Filled Week! 😃🙌🔥

“teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭NKJV

Sort:  

If not for the favor of the Most High, we would be nothing but chaff which the wind blows away. We'd be grass that fades, a tree that is cut down, dross that is thrown away. But by the favor of the Most High, we have the opportunity to be transformed to the good grain to store in the barn, a fruitful tree that bears good fruit, the gold, silver and gems that are firmly planted on the foundation that withstands the testing of fire.
