The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ
2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV, TPT), 2 Corinthians 8:9, Galatians 1:6
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ…the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all… *…may the grace and joyous favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, the unambiguous love of God, and the precious communion that we share in the Holy Spirit be yours continually… *For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. *I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.
What comes to your mind when you hear the term the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is not just a religious prayer that is used to end a church service or a session of prayer. Rather, it is everything that Jesus came to do and everything that He has made available and possible for us by His death, burial and resurrection. Tje grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
Apostle Paul describe it as the unsearchable (unfathomable and infinite) riches of Christ (Eph.3:8). This unfathomable and infinite riches of Christ are now available to you because of all that Jesus came down to earth to accomplish for you. Grace is what Jesus brought to us (John 1:17). By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, all our sins and forgiven and we have become new creatures who are born into the family of God. We now have God as our Father and have His life and nature in us. We are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places and all things are possible for us, in addition to countless other privileges.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is the central focus of the gospel. This gospel of the grace of God in Christ Jesus reflects the power by which God saves us and manifests His glory and goodness in our lives (Rom.1:16). It is by the grace that we are saved and it is because of God’s grace that we have faith (Eph.2:5&8). God wants us to be strong in the revelation and consciousness if His grace in Christ Jesus (2Tim.2:1). He wants our hearts to be established in His grace and not in diverse and strange doctrines (Heb.13:9).
Prayer:
Thank God for all the wonderful gifts of His grace that are available to you because of Christ. Rejoice and declare them into your life.
