TRUTH TO TO TOLD: TRUTH ABOUT GRACE

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Getting it right with the biblical view of Grace!

Biblically GRACE must be viewed from two dimensions thus:

1. As a MERCIFUL PARDON shown to SINNERS (who are convicted by the HOLY SPIRIT) because of the suffering and death of JESUS CHRIST on the Cross of Calvary on their behalf. (Ephesians 2:5-10).

2. As a MERCIFUL SUPPLY given to SAINTS (by the HOLY SPIRIT) because of resurrection of JESUS CHRIST from the grave on Earth to the Right Hand of the Throne of Grace of the Father in Heaven on their behalf. (Hebrews 4:14-16; Philippians 1:19; James 4:6,7).

The SUPPLIES of the Holy Spirit in Christ to the SAINTS in this World includes amongst others:

1. Wisdom

2. Power

3. Visions and dreams

4. Courage and Encouragement

5. Direction

6. Fruit of the Spirit

7. Gifts of the Spirit

8. Riches

9. Strength

10. Honour

11. Glory

12. Blessings

13. Ideas and strategies

14. Healing

And so on. (Revelation 5:12; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22,23; 1 Corinthians 12:1-10).

The Bible reveals thus:

Then He answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the Word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, NOT by might, NOR by power, BUT by my Spirit, said the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6).

Many Christians knows about the FIRST dimension of Grace, but do not have understanding of the SECOND dimension of Grace. The is the root of the mass failure and falling of many in this current Church of Christ in this World today. This is because, the second dimension of Grace, is what enables, equips and empowers you after your born again experience to continuously overcome and become a success in Christ powerfully and purposefully in this World. True!

We must learn to wait for the SUPPLIES of the SPIRIT of GOD (in terms of power, wisdom, direction, etc) par time, par our need as we pray for them, before doing anything. (Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 6:12; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

Let it be known therefore, that any Christian, who is not DEPENDING on the HOLY SPIRIT for the supernatural SUPPLY of his or her spiritual needs that gives birth to meet his or her physical needs in this World, is not LIVING under Grace, but under the law (by works). They are the true sons and daughters of God in Christ in this World. True! (Galatians 5:18; Romans 8:14-19; Matthew 6:33; Philippians 1:19).

We receive or demand for divine GRACE in Christ by:

1. Praying

2. Speaking the Word of faith

3. Living in holiness

4. Living in humility

5. Living in obedience

6. Living a life of giving

7. Living a life of sacrifice for the sake of Christ and the gospel

8. Living a life of faith

9. Growing in the knowledge of God and the Lord Jesus Christ

And so on. (Philippians 1:19; James 4:6-10; Romans 4:16-25; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

Your life in Christ and living in this World can never be the same, when the Hand of God as the second dimension of Grace come upon you. Never!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

But BY the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, BUT the grace of God which was with me. (1 Corinthians 15:10; 2 Corinthians 12:9,10).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.
