THE GRACE OF GOD!
"Grace" as it is used in the Bible, means "receiving something that is undeserved." Some have said it is "God's Riches At Christ's Expense." "Grace" is unmerited favor. "Grace" is a free gift from God; otherwise, it would be earned. Here are some examples which reveal God's grace freely given to whosoever will accept it:
Genesis 6:8 - But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Genesis 19:18-19 - And Lot said unto them . . . Behold now, your servant has found grace in your sight, and you hast magnified your mercy, which you have shown unto me in saving my life . . . .
Exodus 33:17 - And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that you have spoken: for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.
Ezra 9:8 - (Ezra said,) And now for a little space grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in His holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Jeremiah 31:1-2 - At the same time, says the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people. Thus says the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
Zechariah 12:10 - And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one Who mourns for His Only Son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as One Who is in bitterness for His Firstborn.
John 1:11-17 - He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He of Whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for He was before me. And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:33 - And with great power gave the apostles witness of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Acts 15:11 - But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Romans 3:22-24 - Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 8:9 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus 3:4-7 - But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Whom He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Hebrews 2:9 - But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
GOD OFFERS SALVATION TO ANY AND ALL WHO BELIEVE
THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE
PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES, THAT HE WAS BURIED,
AND THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD JUST AS
THE SCRIPTURES FORETOLD HE WOULD!
WHAT GOD DOES NOT DO IS FORCE US TO TRUST HIM!
THAT IS WHY SALVATION IS BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH!
GOD SAID IT, AND THEREFORE, IT IS THE TRUTH!
PUT YOU TRUST IN HIM TODAY WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
