The True Grace of God

Salvation is by grace through faith.  God made it this way through His Son!

Yet the “way in, is the way on.”   Want fruits, works?  Then it continues to be grace through faith in Him every day.  “The just shall live by (grace) (through) faith.”

Faith is not hard, yet it seems we or others at times have made it hard.  Faith does not have to be hard.  That is, if we are looking in the Right Place.

The Right Place is looking at Jesus, looking at God, looking at the Word of God concerning Him and His Son.

Looking to the Holy Spirit in us, who now lives within as well.  God has declared His Spirit to be the Spirit of Truth – He only leads in Truth.

Everything else is false.

Putting it lovingly and nicely, God does not give a “rip” about our opinions and interpretations.  Actually, we need to ask him to do some “ripping” – rip all the “stuff” that is false out of our thinking.

We can be child-like.  If God has indeed made peace through the blood of His Son’s cross and it is written: 

“Therefore having been justified by faith (God’s way), we have peace with God through out Lord Jesus Christ…” (Romans 5:1), THEN our response is through faith, “Thank you God SO MUCH – I have peace with you because of Your Son!”

Oh, but wait – there’s more!  “Through WHOM also we have obtained our introduction into this grace in which we stand, and we exult in the hope of the glory of God!”  Romans 5:2

Without standing firmly in God’s grace through faith (our response to God), we will not stand – God didn’t make another way.  This is His way!  And the glory of God is, when we walk in faith His way.

Then we will surely experience real fruit in our lives, we won’t have to worry about “put-ons,” or pretending or trying.  Real grace through faith genuinely produces the fruit of His Holy Spirit in us – and His works!

The Gift of God, salvation is astounding – it’s not flesh and blood’s doing, but God’s grace alone and when we place faith in Him, His grace, there will be true results because God is faithful.

Romans 5:17 is a powerful Scripture.  Read it today 😊

If one has a car, and can talk all about it, talk with others who have the same kind of car, start ministries to proclaim how everyone needs the same car, gather together each week to talk about this amazing car – then, some kid comes along and says, “Why don’t you all ever ride in the car you’re always talking about?”

Grace then is the vehicle (The living Christ living in and through us), and Faith (my heart believing and abiding in Him each day) is getting in and going for the Ride of Your Life!

Grace is simple, but pure!  

(We can be child-like yet wise and mature!)
