The word of His grace

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”

Acts 20:32

The message of God's grace and His unfailing love is the centre of the gospel. This message is a force that produces every good thing in the hearts of those who have believed the gospel. 

I got in the office this morning to watch a terrible incident of a journalist Bryce Williams in West Virginia, USA who shoots two other journalists on air and afterwards shot himself. What a terrible incident. Bitterness , anger ,hatred, condemnation! What a terrible life to live.

The Lord Jesus says something very touching. Let your eyes rest on the scripture below; 

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:45

The master is speaking about the heart , which is your spirit being the fountain of every good or bad thing. Now , when you believe the gospel and you are born again ; your heart is recreated , the love of God is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit. Your heart becomes packed with every good thing. You are God's masterpiece, the best of His creation , created in righteousness and true holiness. Your life , words , conversation displays the grace of Jesus. 

The apostle is now committing us to the word of His grace. He calls the word of God : the word of His grace. I would that every person reads the bible with this consciousness. It is a word that reveals how God has favored you. When you understand this , it is the beginning of a fruitful life. 

“........In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.” Colossians 1:6

Wow , did you see that!! The gospel started bearing fruit the day they heard it and truly understood God's grace. Have you understood the grace of God? Have you accepted that He has made everything available for you? Has it taken hold of your heart that He loves you? The word of grace is what will give you an inheritance of every good thing. 

I know some take the word of God lightly and casually; that's the reason why many never see their lives transformed. Look at this ; 

“Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”

1 Timothy 4:15

Like the apostle Paul , I commend you to God and to the word of his grace that is able to give you an inheritance!! 

Prayer : Father I thank you that I am a new creation , my heart is full of every good thing ; love , joy , patience , gentleness, goodness , peace and everything I need in this life! I give you praise for your word that is able to give me an inheritance. I receive your word today and everyday with meekness. My life is changed , I am moving from glory to glory in Jesus' name. Amen

You are loved by God
