Grace is your ticket to heaven, and grace is sufficient for your every need on your journey there. But this is just the beginning.
We read:
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given (John 1:16).
Jesus is full of grace:
The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14).
Is there a limit to his grace? None, never! And from his grace, you, as his child, have received grace upon grace. Unending grace. Immeasurable grace.
The question I want to put to you is: Are you living in the fullness of the grace of Jesus? Is God’s grace—amazing grace—a conscious part of your everyday life? Having been born again through grace, have you missed the abundant grace upon grace for your life? Or maybe, like me, you live in it some days and some days you don’t.
God is able and willing to give you grace upon grace. Grace to do every good work he has planned for you to do. Grace to endure whatever circumstances come your way. Grace to love like Jesus loves; to care like Jesus cares; to serve like Jesus served; to forgive like Jesus forgave. All grace is God’s gift to you. He is able to do that, provided you don’t miss it. Provided you don’t “fall short of his grace.”
See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many (Hebrews 12:15).
“See to it” says the writer to the Hebrews. Get to know grace better. See to it you don’t miss out on God’s abundant, amazing grace he gives to you—grace upon grace for every day and every situation in your life.
