God’s Grace for You

 

 

Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began (2 Timothy 1:9).

.

 

God’s grace comes into our lives with a purpose. We are prepared to fulfill His purpose when we understand God loves and accepts us unconditionally. 

 

God’s grace came into Paul’s life with a purpose.

 

“But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you” (Acts 26:16)

 

God’s grace works for good to those who are called according to His purpose.

 

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

 

God has a purpose for you. His grace is available for you to walk in that purpose. He has endowed you with gifts and talents that must be utilized and developed. The degree to which you understand your purpose is the degree to which you will realize true peace and joy.

 

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God . . . For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:8,10).

 

Grace through faith saves us. But there is more! That same grace leads us to the good works God has prepared for us. 

 

You won't fulfill your purpose if you only understand the grace through faith that saves you and not the grace through faith that changes you. The purpose God has designed for you is unique to you. You should go after it with God’s grace! 

 

God’s purpose for all of us includes all our relationships: marriage and children, job and vocation, and reaching others with the Gospel of grace. We are to be Jesus’ light, making a difference in the lives of the lost and those struggling to believe in God's promises. 

 

You are God’s workmanship created in Jesus Christ! You are one of a kind and have immeasurable value in His Kingdom.

 

Grace is God's power for your whole life to save, heal, deliver, provide, and change you!

 

God’s grace was available when you were saved, and it is available now. Look at Paul. He calls and uses imperfect people. 

 

“Rise!” God declares. “Stand on your feet! I have a purpose for you!”
