We take up again the Apostle Paul’s emphasis of God’s grace.
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.”  2 Corinthians 9:8

God is able in His abounding grace!
“To Him who IS ABLE to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.  Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20-21

“…For I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He IS ABLE to guard what I have entrusted to Him…”  2 Timothy 1:12

“…He IS ABLE to save forever those who draw near to God through Him (Jesus Christ), since He always lives to make intercession for them.”  Hebrews 7:25

It is divine ability and power that makes all grace bound to the Believer.  
We know that it is:
“…by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”  Ephesians 2:8

And we saw last week it is grace that imparts the ability for the Believer to live the new life. ( 2 Corinthians 1:12) 

“He saved us…according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”  Titus 3:5-7

Paul tells us in Romans 7:6,
“…Now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive.  So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but  [under obedience to the prompting] of the Spirit in newness [of life].”  The Amplified Bible

In our present lookdown situation remember the following and rejoice, God is in control and, hopefully, we are growing through it to maturity! 

In Ephesians 4:23-24 we see,
“…Be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.”

“…Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Romans 12:2

“…Though the outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day,  For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.”  2 Corinthians 4:16-17

We see the Holy Spirit at work in our lives!  Again, I say, seek to know the Holy Spirit more intimately that the manifold grace of God may unfold in and through each one who belongs to God.  (We are to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God, 1 Peter 4:10)

I close with a song we often sing:
“Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand.
 Not by our human endeavor, but by the blood of the Lamb.
 Into Your presence You call us, You call us to come,
 Into Your presence You draw us,
 Now by Your grace we come.”

Thank you Almighty God and Father for Your great love that pours out Your manifold grace on all who trust in, cling to, and rely on Christ Jesus our Lord.  Amen
