THE MYSTERY OF GRACE
Grace
means free and undeserved favor, especially of God. In order words, grace means
unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification.
It is so pertinent today that, many Christians of nowadays did not really
understand the purpose of God grace upon their lives thereby negating the
purpose why such grace is been given to them. Many don’t realize that their
been alive today was by God grace which is met for a certain mission to be
accomplish but many fail to realize this, so, what is the purpose of such grace
of been alive for? Many enjoy the grace of multiple talents such as singing,
dancing etc but rather
than using it for the edification of God they were busying
using it for the edification of their own pleasure and satisfaction. so, what
is the essence of such grace? Many were
still alive today through God grace but busying boasting around thinking it was
by their own knowledge or power that kept them alive but they forget what the
Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 “for by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man
should boast.” Also many swim in sins but still leaving thinking God did
not seen their acts but forgotten that it was God grace they were still
enjoying is the one acting as a preventing measure for their condemnation which
is been confirm in the book of Ephesians
2:5 which says “even when we were
dead in sins, halt quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) ”
So, for as many who is enjoying this God grace of salvation what have you been
able to do with this grace of God upon your life?
It
is good to know that God’s grace has provided not only for salvation but for
every need of our lives. The provision of God grace is not based on whether you
are reading the Bible enough, praying, going to Church, or even paying your
tithes. Before you ever had financial need, God created the provision. Before
you were sick, God, through grace, provide your healing (1Pet. 2:24). before you ever became discourage, God
bless you with all spiritual blessing (Eph. 1:3). But the question now is, what
have we been able to give in return of all this grace? Many enjoy the grace to
be vocal so that such people can evangelize the word of God to the world but
they refused to do so, what is the essence of the grace. Many enjoy the grace
of wealth to help the needy but refuse to do so, what is your grace for?
In conclusion, many of us today clamor for God
grace and the one been given to us in the time past we cannot give account for
it because we did not make effective use of it which is a big sin in the sight
of God and we fail to put into consideration what the Bible says “that we can’t stay in sin and say God grace
should abound.” Finally we should have it at the back of our mind that we
will give an account on every grace which the Lord gave to us on the last day
because he (God) is coming to reward every one according to what we do. (Rev
12:22).
