Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast
about my weaknesses, so that the
power of Christ can work through
me.
When we could not save ourselves or do anything for
ourselves, God did everything we needed.
That truth is something hard to understand, but it is so important to
grasp. God did for us what we couldn’t
do for ourselves. Literally God reaches
out to us and seeks to transform our lives before we take one step toward Him.
There are two kinds of faith.
There is what is natural for humans to understand, and then there is the
super-natural faith that is it hard to understand or believe. That is where God comes in the mix.
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has
become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
By accepting what Jesus did for us, the grace that God made
for us, God makes us brand new, gives us power and authority to live a blessed
life. It is important that we claim what
God has done and what that means for our lives.
We are blessed. We are children
of God. We receive what God has done for
when we accept Him. We don’t have to
believe it to receive it. We have
already received it.
The difference between our faith and the faith that Jesus
demonstrated while He earth is that we are weak, and Jesus never comes to the
place where He is weak. We crumble under
pressure. Yet that is the time when we
ought to soar high by trusting Him more.
What is it that helps our faith get stronger? Dealing with sin by being honest grows our
faith. When we forgive ourselves and
forgive others, our faith grows by leaps and bounds.
Sin has no claim on our lives any more. It is time to lay down what we cannot
control. It is time we let God deal with
our weakness with His strength. It is
time to live in the grace that God offers us and that has been offered to us
since long before we came to God. Praise
the Lord that He always pursues us, loves us, accepts us, forgives us,
encourages us, holds us and helps us all the time. That is His grace.
Romans 5:21
NASB
so that, as sin
reigned in death, even so grace
would reign through
righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Walk in super-natural grace as you continue your journey.
