Abundant Grace

2 Corinthians 9:8 - "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." God's grace is what makes our contribution to life possible. Author James Ryle gives this definition for grace: "Grace is the empowering Presence of God enabling you to be who He has created you to be, and to do what He has called you to do. God never calls us to do anything that he doesn't provide the grace for us to accomplish. Notice the word all in this passage. All grace, All things, at All times, having All we need. God gives us abundant grace so that we can live out the life He has purposed for us effectively. There is grace available to us 24/7 as the Holy Spirit leads us to do God's will. We are saved by a grace that takes us into a lifestyle that is uniquely designed by God for us to live out daily by being a source of blessing and bringing grace to everyone we come in contact with. Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." We are not saved by works, but a life of good works is the result of having receiving mercy and finding grace. Abundant Grace = Abundant Life. Grace and Peace
