​

The grace of God in Christ Jesus is the super ability of God that works in our hearts so that we are able to do that which is beyond our natural strength⁹. Our lord  Jesus  himself is the grace of God personified. The scripture said the Law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus, who is God in his capacity as the eternal Word of God, took on flesh and became a man. Whatever he went through from the day Judas betrayed Him till he resurrected was done in our name. He did it for us.

​

In His stripes at Pilate’s whipping post was to bear every disease of all men. This is grace. He hung on the cross naked, a symbol  of abject poverty, so we might be rich( 2 Cor 8:9).His death was our death so we might live through Him. He defeated satan in His death, and that was our defeat of Satan. He ascended to heaven, and He is seated at the Father’s right hand. Since He represents us in all He did, we are also seated together in Him in the heavenly places. The authority vested in His name is now ours. Any command made in His name places a demand on the angels to honour that command. We have received His nature and life. We have the righteousness of God as our nature. The instruction in the key scripture says we must be strong in making every one of these blessings work to our advantage. Walking in any one of the above is experiencing His grace.

​

The Spirit of the Lord also works in our hearts to do things far beyond  our own natural abilities. This is grace.

​

To be strong in that grace is to believe that every blessing the Lord won for us in His passion is indeed ours. Act in line with what the scripture said. By grace, you are the righteousness of God, and so do not accept that you are a sinner. By your strong acknowledgement  of being the righteousness of God, you would experience in reality the  ability to live right because you have believed that you are righteous. For every one of what the Lord achieved for us, you can make it yours by believing and acting in line with what the word says. In this way, you would be strong in the grace of the Lord.

THOUGHT:YOUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S POWER AT WORK IN YOU, MAKES YOU STRONG IN THE GRACE
