410. Grace

“The Grace of God” Tit_2:11

Pascal sings of grace. “To make a man a saint, grace is absolutely necessary, and whoever doubts it, does not know what a saint is or what a man is.”

The following blessings, mentioned in Ephesians, which grace bestows will speak for themselves.

1. We are accepted in the Beloved to the “praise of the glory of His grace” (Eph_1:6).

2. We are forgiven “according to the riches of His grace” (Eph_1:7).

3. We are “saved by grace,” that is, through His loving act, irrespective of what we are (Eph_2:5, Eph_2:8).

4. We are made trophies of His love through “the exceeding riches of His grace” (Eph_2:7).

5. We are privileged to be witnesses of the Lord through the “grace given” (Eph_3:7-8).

6. We are exhorted to be channels of blessings to others by a consistent life, that we may “minister grace” to them (Eph_4:29).

7. The benediction of love is, “Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ” (Eph_6:24).
