Topic: Surviving By God's grace
Highlight:
Genesis 14:19-20 ERV
He blessed Abram and said, “Abram, may you be blessed by God Most High, the one who made heaven and earth. And we praise God Most High, who helped you defeat your enemies.” Abram gave Melchizedek one-tenth of everything he had taken during the battle.
The only answer to our future is Jesus. When things seems dark or even bright Jesus is our only hope of glory. The above Bible passage is a public declaration of God's favor upon Abram, setting him apart as a recipient of divine grace. After that encounter, Abraham survived by the grace of God even up till this moment. God is the only survival place for everyone. Until we accept this then we will begin to see His glory. The Bible says in James 1:17 that Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.
So God is our Father and we can only survive by His grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
So Surviving By God's grace does not mean to carelessly live our lives out there. It is pointing us to associate ourselves to things that comes as gift from God. Example of God's gift wisdom, wisdom is a good gift that comes from God and every sons and daughters of God need to ask God for wisdom so as to live a triumphant life.
In the grace of God is to accept the gift of God. You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body 1 Corinthians 6:19
Whenever we neglect God's gift (every good and perfect gift that comes from the Father) and go after the inventions of men, we are working for the wages of sin. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 6:23
The gift of God is also eternal life and It's only through Jesus Christ we can enjoy the gift of God. Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. John 10:1.
That is why we should survive by grace of God through Jesus Christ. If you do not know Jesus and you wish to know him. You must first accept Him as your Lord and Savior (as your gate) through which you will enjoy the gifts of God. Say this prayer: " Lord Jesus Omnipotent Savior, I have come to declare you as my Lord and Saviour, please save my soul and let me through into the joy of God's gifts"
Prayer: Lord Jesus grant us the best gifts for our destiny from God which will turn us to immortal like you. Amen.
