"His grace has no measure,
His mercies no end,
His love has no boundaries know unto men.
For out of the infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth and He giveth and He giveth again."

Grace! God's unmerited favor! Like agape (God's love) it will take eternity to know the whole of it. In His loving kindness and tender mercies He reveals it to His own and such me are. Let us look once again to see what Scripture reveals to us today concerning this glorious attribute of God.

"The Illustrated Dictionary of the Bible'" Herbert Lockyer Jr., Editor, defines it as:
"Favor or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it and in spite of what the same person deserves."

God's grace was revealed time and again in the Old Testament, but it is supremely reveal in Jesus Christ, His person and His work! We see in Luke 2:40 God's grace was upon Him, "And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him."

Not only was He the receiver of God's grace, but He was the embodiment of grace.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 1:14

Grace is the source of--
Salvation:
"But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved." Acts 15:11

Justification for all who believe:
"Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Romans 3:24

Forgiveness (by grace we are saved):
"That in the ages to come He (God) might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:7

Consolation and comfort:
"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work."
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Grace is all abundant:
"But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many." Romans 5:15 "So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Vs. 20

Grace is all sufficient:
Jesus' words to Paul and his thorn in the side, "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'..." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Grace, how great!:
"And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all." Acts 4:33

Grace is manifold:
"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." 1 Peter 4: 10

Being saved by grace, Believers are under grace:
"For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Romans 6:14

Believers abound in grace:
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8

As Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:18,
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Thank You Lord for this undeserved and unmerited grace that You have so graciously lavished upon us because of Your great love. Our desire is to love and worship You more accurately, in a manner that blesses Your heart.
Amen
