Good morning.


"Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 1:2)


"Grace is something we constantly need to be reminded of, something we need to refer back to. Grace is the foundation, the platform of our lives ... every single thing that we do. We need to be living in the grace of God " (Rob Rufus)


When we live in the Grace of God:

• We will rule and reign in life. "For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!" (Romans 5:17)

• We will be fruitful in life. "In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace." (Colossians 1:6)

• We will say "No" to unrighteousness. Grace is not a license to sin. "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age." (Titus 2:11‭-‬12)

• We will be energized to do great things for God. "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." (1 Corinthians 15:10)


God is saying, "I will bless you not on the basis of your performance, but on the basis of Jesus' performance on your behalf!"


This is grace.


Have a great day revelling in God's grace.


Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
