We all need grace in our lives. We all make mistakes, or simply “blow it” at times. It’s at times like this that we need to remember the throne of grace. Many Christians do not know this, but we have the right and privilege to approach the throne of grace with confidence and without fear. When we do so, we will receive mercy for our failures and shortcomings. Not only that, but His mercy will also be available and present at the right time and moment. Hebrews 4:16 (AMP) says: “Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]” Are you availing yourself of this grace, or are you too busy beating yourself up, not realizing that God’s throne of grace is available?
Release the masterpiece!
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” The word Workmanship is the greek word Poiema which means: poetry, masterwork, work of art, His creation, accomplishment, masterpiece. We were created for good works!
- This means that we are capable of doing amazing things for God’s glory. It’s not only a certain breed of person that can do good works. We all have that potential. We all are God’s masterpiece.
- Unfortunately, there are a lot of masterpieces that never get displayed, so the world misses out on the joy of their beauty.God gave each of us wonderful gifts and abilities. However, it’s up to us to walk in those gifts.a) He set us in His Body by His grace! b) God set us in the Body as it pleased Him! 1 Corinthians 12:18. c) God set us in His Body for the profit of all! 1 Corinthians 12:7 d) There are no unnecessary members in the Body 1 Corinthians 12:22
Since you are already part of His Body, and it pleases Him that you are set in His Body, it’s time to release the masterpiece within you.
