Grace Of God

The most common understanding of the word "grace" is "God's unmerited favour" - in other words, even though we were sinners, deserving judgment, God looked upon us in love and forgave us.   However, grace alos means "God enabling power"

"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word" (2 Ths 2:16:17)

Not only does His grace makes us accepted into the family of God, it also provides the power we need to live the Christian life.

How Faith Works

The principle of faith (Rom 3:27) is to operate in our lives continually and consistently no matter what the circumstances.

Sometimes it seems that everything happens around us appears to be contrary to what God has said, and there seems to be no natural evidence for our believing.  At this poing, our faith must completely rest on God's word.

"  In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

"These have come so that yur faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ revelaed.

In our times of doubt and struggle, God remains faithful and does not abandon us."...for everything born of God has overcome the world.  This is the victory that has overcome the world even our faith" (1 Jn 5:4)

Faith

Faith has always been the mark of a disciple of Jesus.  The early disciples were known as believers.  Jesus said: "....everything is possible for him who believes" (Mark 9:23)

Faith means total dependence on God.  Faith advances you beyond the five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching.  Faith releases you from your limited capacities. By Faith, you move from in-ability to His-ability.

Faith is obedient action in response to what God has said.  "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb 11:1)

The basis of having faith in God is in the Nature of God.."When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself" (Heb 6:13)

The nature of God can be summed up as follows:
  • He cannot change "I the Lord do not change.." (Mal 2:6)
  • He cannot fail - "I know that you can do all things, no plan of yours can be thwarted" (Job 42:2)
  • He cannot lie - "God iis not a man that he should lie nor a son of man that he should change his mind.  Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfil?" (Num 23:19)
