Grace our Access to the life of God.
It began with God dying for you to receive His life in you, and it's God who extended His Grace for you to receive His life in you.
It will remain His grace that will lead you all through.
Whenever you think that it's what you do or not do that makes you righteous, there you are taking the Grace of God in vain!
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Every believer is called of God by Grace; Grace is what brings you into the realm of God.
That's why Paul says we were called with an Holy calling. Why ? Because Grace called us.
And what is Grace ? God's enablement in an individual to make them bare the fruits of the very righteousness of God; to become that which they never would have become if it weren't for God's strength because flesh and blood can't enter the realm of God.
Israel didn't obtain the promise because they expected to receive it by what they did yet it was by the Grace of God that they were to receive it!
The life of God was given you when you believed in Christ Jesus as your Lord and savior.
You didn't receive Christ the gift of God because you worked so hard for it,no!
But as it is written, when we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
So life of God in us is the gift of God which we obtained simply by faith.
It is offense to think that God loves and blesses you because of what you do or not do.
If you indeed received Christ the gift of God by faith and the Righteousness of God by Grace, and go about to fast , pray , give a lot , just so God can make you rich or heal you or give you an answer, it means that you received the Grace of God in vain!
Because Grace is unmerited favor, it's favor you didn't earn . Working for it would therefore mean that , God's gift , power and ability is not enough!
Allow yourself to flow in the Grace of God which is readily available for you , for indeed as it is written, Christ finished it all so that you and I may walk therein freely.
It is of Faith that it might be of Grace; Faith got you started in the life of God, gave you access to God's grace.
You must believe that you are because God says you are and then the Grace in that word which you have believed makes you become it!
