What is God’s grace? We have all heard God’s grace defined as “unmerited favor” or “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense” (an acrostic), but these are only tidbits compared to the banquet of God’s grace. Here’s an expanded definition: The pre-determined extension of His communion, deliverance, forgiveness, enlightenment, guidance, hope, praise, preservation and enablement to those who belong with Him and to Him. Not only must we realize that “God is for us” as Saint Paul says, but we must receive what that is, all that it is because God intends for us to have it. He “pre-determined” that His children should have it and so included it in His covenant through Jesus Christ. It is by faith we receive His grace and employ, as well as, enjoy it.
If God did not spare even His own Son in order to shed His grace on us, then why would He ever withhold it from us when we need it in time of trouble? He never will! “If God is for us, who is against us?” In the face of His grace, how do we answer? Selah
