In Christ, we receive His divine grace!

What a wonderful truth! Remember in this precious “Good Friday” that God in Christ blessed us by His grace with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. It was He that chose us. He reached out to us. He loved us and revealed His love on the cross. It was He Who adopted us into His family. It was He that accepted us in the Beloved. He gave us this wonderful grace freely. Today, choose to walk in this joy and freedom. Allow His grace to free you from any emotional bondage and stress. You are a child of the King. That makes you a prince or princess. You are part of the Royal Priesthood so your provision and authority comes from above, not from this earth. Walk as a child of the King! 

Ephesians 1:6 (NKJV) “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us (bestowed grace upon us) accepted in the Beloved”

Ephesians 1:6 (ERV) “And this brings praise to God because of his wonderful grace. God gave that grace to us freely. He gave us that grace in Christ, the one he loves”

In Christ, we are truly alive!

King David meditated on God’s word continually. He knew that God’s word contained life, wisdom, protection, instruction, direction and gives life to those who embrace His precepts. Psalm 119:93 (KJV) says: “I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me”. The (NKJV) says: “for by them You have given me life”. That word quickened is the Hebrew word Chayah (Strongs Hebrew: 2420), which means: “to revive, to make alive, to give life, to preserve, to restore back to life”.  Did you know that Jesus is the Word of God? Yes, He is the Living Word of God. We also have the written word of God which speaks of Him! John 1: 1, 14:  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 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”. Ephesians 2:1 says: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins”. If you are reading this, take a moment to thank God for the fact that you are alive. Be grateful for life. In Christ, you also have eternal life. I know that we are in the midst of many people who are constantly complaining about the dumbest things. But don’t get caught up in that mess.  Instead, take time to realize just how blessed we really are. By God’s grace, we have been given life and life eternal. Be like King David of old, and thank Him every day for the gift of life. Remember, He loved us even when we were dead in sins and trespasses. He is worthy of gratitude and praise!
