Good Grace

Introduction: Are you satisfied with the subnormal CHRISTian life of today? Do you want to live above the subnormal CHRISTian life? You can. But how? Paul lays out several biblical principles that enable us to fulfill our calling. Check them out:
 

1. When possible, do all the GOOD you can!

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Eph 2:10)

We are not saved by “Good Works” but if you are saved there will be some “Good Works”! Good works are the result of the Holy Spirit’s fruit (Gal 5:22,23).

The word “workmanship” is ποίημ,(poy’-ay-mah), which means a thing made, a work, workmanship.

I love what Jesus said. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.” (John 15:16)

Did you hear that? Jesus declares those that are His should bring forth fruit! How are you doing?
 

2. With all the FAITH you can!

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” (Eph 2:8)

Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that without faith we cannot please God. God gives each believer a measure of faith.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (Rom 12:3)

Don’t forget. Mustard seed faith moves mountains! (Matt 17:20)
 

3. Because God has all the GRACE you need!

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Eph 2:8)

Our Lord’s storehouse is full of His GRACE! It never runs out!!
 
Conclusion: Now you see. Why not do all the GOOD you can, with all the FAITH you have because God’s got all the GRACE you need!
