Empowering Grace

"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, while we wait for the blessed

hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us

from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."

Titus 2:11-14

Grace empowers us to be like our Father God. This is a process, it won't happen over night. As we allow the Holy Spirit of grace to work with the Word of God in our lives. The Spirit of grace will bring good and lasting change as we co-operate with His leading. Grace is our teacher, not circumstances or legalistic religion.

Let us allow the grace of Jesus, which is God's love in action to transform us, to heal our hearts and deal with our rejections, hurts and orphan identities, and let grace transform us into passionate lovers of God (as we our passionately loved by Him), passionate lovers of the bride of Christ and passionate rescuers of those kidnapped royalty in the world around us.

People all around us who need to accept for the first time the glorious message of the Gospel of grace and make Jesus Christ The Lord and Saviour of their lives.

Come on, He has saved us by grace through faith, has bestowed this amazing free gift upon us of Sonship and has prepared glorious works for us to walk in. Let the longing of the whole of creation be fulfilled and satisfied as the true sons of God and the bride of Christ go about the Father's business. Let us be eager to do good and glorious works.
