Restoring GRACE; BE GRACE TO YOUR WORLD (page 2)

Jesus, through GRACE, provided everything we would ever need, and He did it 2,000 years ago.

Titus 2:11 - "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,"

Jesus provided everything through GRACE, knowing we were yet sinners and we did not deserve it.

Ephesians 2:5 - "even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),"

So, it is evident that our BEHAVIOR is not tied to our salvation. It's Jesus' behavior that led to our salvation - that's GRACE! His GRACE is eternal and will never be taken away.

Romans 5:17 - "For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ!"

Jesus is not leaving us, ever, even when we screw up really bad. Jesus and His GRACE is complete, whole, lacking nothing, and it's eternal.

1 Peter 5:10 - "After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you."     

God's design is to have GRACE around forever.

Romans 5:21 - "so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

GRACE created all things, and is in all things, and is for all things.

Colossians 1:16 - "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him."

Jesus suffered and died and was resurrected JUST ONE TIME, AND IN THAT HE DID IT ALL! So we are to believe and receive.

Hebrews 10:12 - "but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God,"

If there is any restoring going on, it will be God is restoring the world to Himself through GRACE.

2 Corinthians 5:18 - "Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,"

Salvation is eternal peace with God as God reclaims, redeems, restores, and reconciles all things through His Son, Jesus.     

If you are looking to restore GRACE, or better said, to refocus on the GRACE, we already have, please consider reading, studying, and soaking on the following Scriptures.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

2 Corinthians 5:18 - "Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,"

2 Corinthians 5:19 - "namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation."

2 Corinthians 5:20 - "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."

2 Corinthians 5:21 - "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
