ALL GRACE ALWAYS ALL-SUFFICIENT.

"God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all-sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work" (2Co_9:8).

1. The nature of it. It is-

1. All grace. It is all of grace from beginning to end.

2. All grace abounding. Deep and overflowing like the waves of the sea.

3. All grace abounding toward you. To meet your individual need, to fill up that which is lacking in your own soul and life. They drank of that Spiritual Rock that followed them.

2. The measure of it. The measure is deep and capacious, it is "according to His riches in glory" (Php_4:19). It is-

1. All-sufficiency. The source is unfailing and abundant. He is the Fountain of living waters.

2. All-sufficiency always. In every time of need, at every stage of life, and every hour of the day.

3. All-sufficiency always in all things. In all the details that go to make up both the inward and outward experiences of life.

3. The assurance of it. "God is able."

1. Believe it. Have faith in God. Prove Me and try Me, He says. Fear not, only believe. God is able.

2. Expect it. If ye ask anything in My Name I will do it. Reckon on it. God is able.

3. Thank Him for it. There is nothing too hard for the Lord. Praise Him and prove Him.

4. The outcome of it. The results of such fulness of blessing should be abundance of service. That ye may-

1. Work. The grace of God not only saves, but makes bone and muscle, that we may be strong to serve. Occupy till I come. "Son, go work."

2. Be found in every good work. Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as unto the Lord. In all well-pleasing.

3. Abound to every good work. Abounding grace should produce abounding work. Why stand ye here all the day idle? God is able to make all grace abound toward you.
