Grace Distributors

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10

None of us comes to know Christ apart from grace. Even those who receive Him as a child had to come to grips with His wooing in their hearts. The apostle Paul writes: “...(by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him...so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:5-7).

In the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we “have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4).

The mission of grace doesn’t end at the Cross. It continues in our lives on a daily basis. Grace should be evident in all that we do and say. We were given new life so we might become grace distributors. As Christians, God calls us to live by grace, view others through eyes of grace, and share His grace to those who are lost as we once were before we heard the message of His love and affection toward us. God’s grace is a marvelous gift to receive and then give away. Praise Him that you are not saved by human effort, but by grace that is forever free.

Trials test our faith in God’s faithfulness.
