full of grace
(Psalm 5:11-12; Ephesians 3:7-11)
I see people trying to be new in the new year. How can we experience newness?(...) According to Ephesians 4:22 or Romans 12:2, there is a change in the one who renews the mind.(...) Then, how can our heart be renewed? The Lord gives you a new commandment: Love one another.(...) What belongs to love is new.(...) The one who loves can find new things.(...)
We become perfect Christians when we know what God's grace is.(...) What is grace?(...) It is God's grace that Christ came to this earth. If you know why the cross is love, you have received grace. If you see people who don't believe in Jesus, you feel pity for them, and if you want to keep asking them to believe in Jesus, there is grace. Even though he was hospitalized for several months after a car accident, he would not know what grace is if he thanked God. When do you experience grace? It's not a happy time. It's not the time for things to go well. This is when it is dark before your eyes. Even if we lack all things, if we have God’s grace, we will be able to do everything. Even if we have abundance, if we do not have God’s grace, we will feel lacking. ) For a better resurrection (...) you will receive not only ridicule and scourging, but also bondage and trials.(...) The world cannot stop those who know God's grace.(...)
So, what should we do to be filled with grace?
① It is to be thankful for everything.
It is to find the conditions of gratitude for even the smallest things in my life. (...) If I do, I will be grateful and if I do not, I will be thankful and believe that it is God's way to bless me. (...) You have to learn to value it. If you keep it, you will be filled with grace.(...)
② It is to be thankful for knowing the Lord.
No matter what process you went through to believe in Jesus, you should be thankful.(...) It is only the grace of the Lord that I have become who I am. Have a close encounter with the Lord every day. Grace abounds.
③ Consider that I have become a servant of the Lord.
Paul rejoiced that he had become a servant of Christ. I am even more grateful for not only giving me grace, but also for allowing me to work for the Lord.
Let's be the center of grace. If you write Grace Center in Chinese characters, it is grace center. The life that the saints who have received grace share with the residents is the Grace Center. If we live a grace-centered life, the Grace Center will be established, and God will be glorified through it, and our grace will be more abundant. Amen.
