Grace

We as God’s children—His elect, redeemed—must realize that we cannot do anything

outside His grace—His favor, His help. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation

hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we

should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:11-12). “In

whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the

riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7). “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that

not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast”

(Ephesians 2:8-9). “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye

may know how ye ought to answer every man” (Colossians 4:6). “And with great power

gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon

them all” (Acts 4:33). “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we

may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). “But he

giveth more grace” (James 4:6a). And the last scripture of the Bible: “The grace of our

Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:21).
