But because of His great love for
us, God who is rich in mercy, made
us alive with Christ – even when
we were dead in transgressions – it
is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us with Him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in
the coming ages He might show the
incomparable riches of His grace,
expressed in His kindness to us in
Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:4-7 (NIV)
Grace Loves…
Such love has no fear, because
perfect love expels all fear. If we
are afraid, it is for fear of
punishment, and this shows that
we have not fully experienced his
perfect love - 1 John 4:18
The effect of a great love is always to
cleanse. When people really & truly fall
in love, their love compels them to
goodness…That is what Christ does for
us. When we love Him, that love recreates and restores our will to
goodness - Barclay
Grace Empowers…
I pray that the eyes of your heart
may be enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which
He has called you, the riches of His
glorious inheritance in His holy
people,
and His incomparably great power
for us who believe. That power is
the same as the mighty strength He
exerted when He raised Christ from
the dead and seated Him at His right
hand in the heavenly realms.
Eph 1:18-20 (NIV)
Sin destroys our will and
indulgence that begins as a
pleasure becomes a necessity.
Jesus revives and restores that
lost will - Barclay
Grace Lifts…
…and seated Him in the place of
honour at God’s right hand in the
heavenly realms. Now He is far above
any ruler or authority or power or
leader or anything else—not only in
this world but also in the world to
come.
God has put all things under the
authority of Christ and has made
Him head over all things for the
benefit of the church.
Eph 1:20-22
For He raised us from the dead along
with Christ and seated us with Him in
the heavenly realms because we are
united with Christ Jesus.
So God can point to us in all future
ages as examples of the incredible
wealth of His grace and kindness
toward us, as shown in all He has
done for us who are united with Christ
Jesus.
God saved you by His grace when you
believed. And you can’t take credit for
this; it is a gift from God.
Eph 2:6-8 (NLT)
