His Grace

His Grace in You

(NLT) Ephesians 2:8-10

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. [9] Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. [10] For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

It is by His grace that He saves us. We can take no credit for our salvation. Even the faith to believe in Him comes from Him.

(NLT) Philippians 4:23
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

(NLT) 2 Timothy 2:1
Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.

Not only does He save us by grace but daily His grace is available for us and to us and in us. 

It is His Grace that helps us to live the Christian life. 

Gal 3:1  Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ's death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of His death on the cross. 
Gal 3:2  Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. 
Gal 3:3  How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? 

Our perfecting is found in the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

Today, may God's grace be upon you and in you and evident to all about you.

Love in Christ,
