Grace does not stop once we are saved. God is gracious to us for the rest of our lives, working within and upon us. The Bible encourages us with many additional benefits that grace secures for every believer:
-Grace justifies us before a Holy God-Romans 3:24; Ephesians 1:6; Titus 3:7.
-Grace provides us access to God to communicate and fellowship with Him-Ephesians 1:6; Hebrews 4:16.
-Grace procures for us a new relationship of intimacy with God-Exodus 33:17.
-Grace disciplines us to live in a way that honors God continually-Titus 2:11–14; 2 Corinthians 8:7.
-Grace grants us immeasurable spiritual riches on a daily basis-Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 2:7.
-Grace helps us in our every situation-Hebrews 4:16.
-Grace is the reason for our every deliverance-Psalm 44:3–8; Hebrews 4:16.
-Grace preserves, comforts, encourages, and strengthens us in our walk with Christ-2 Corinthians 13:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17; 2 Timothy 2:1.
-Grace is the ongoing, benevolent act of God working in us, without which we can do nothing-John 15:5.
-Grace is greater than our sin-Romans 5:20.
-Grace is more abundant than we expect-1 Timothy 1:14.
-Grace is too wonderful for words to describe-2 Corinthians 9:15.
Paul declared the success of his ministry not to his own substantial labors, but to “the grace of God that was with me” in 1 Corinthians 15:10.
We, as the recipients of God’s grace, are to be gracious to others. Grace is given to us to serve others and to exercise our spiritual gifts for the building up of the church according to Romans 12:6.
Praise God for His GRACE that is abundant and free for all who believe and receive!
