Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

1 Corinthians 15:10, “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”

Grace is not just God’s attitude toward us.

It is also God’s power toward us.

Grace is Christ Himself as resurrection power coming into us to change us and to do in us what we could never do in ourselves.

We may have thought that grace is merely God looking favorably at us from the heavens while remaining detached from us.

But grace is Christ actually coming into us, operating in our heart, taking away the stony heart, and inclining us to love Him.

Grace is an inner, divine operation in our will to produce a willingness that we do not have in ourself.

It is Christ doing everything in us by His own resurrection energy.

It is a ceaseless working, whether we feel it or not.

Our life is hidden with Christ in God, and day by day this Person is operating in us to effect a change in our being.

It is all grace.

Indeed, He is “the God of all grace” (1 Pet. 5:10).

Grace is a word that describes the sum and substance of our Christian life.

On God’s side, grace is both His attitude and His power.

On our side, grace is enjoyment.

Just as Mephibosheth sat at King David’s table in the Old Testament (2 Sam. 9:13), we sit at the table with our deformed feet out of sight, and feed on the word of God’s grace.

Grace means that we learn to feed on Christ and enjoy Him by coming to Him just the way we are.

We learn how to lay our self aside.

We learn how to bypass solving our own problems by going directly to the source of our supply–to eat of Him and to drink of Him.

So on our side, grace is enjoying and partaking of God.

On God’s side, it is His favorable attitude toward us while at the same time He is working inwardly to transform us.

Until Tomorrow,

With A Shepherd’s Love
