God's Grace:
 
"I sit in the lap of Grace, and Mercy embraced me!"
 
My life was a mercy and grace display of God's love in my soul, and it reminds me of Who God is.  He revealed to me I couldn't live without Him.  I needed Him just to live! (empowered). When His mercy showed up in my life I was so disobedient. I couldn't even see it until His Holy Spirit revealed it to me, and spoked to me and said, "Claudia, you have sit in the lap of Grace, and Mercy has embraced you."   I was so overtaken by how the Holy Spirit said that to me!  This happen in 1993, a disobedient time of my walk with the Lord, BUT GOD.  Grace is undeserved Mercy that God gave to us by sending His Son Jesus to die on a cross to give us a way to be with Him in the balance of eternity.  Another way of putting it is "Grace is the unmerited favor of God. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin.  I just hadn't tapped into that at that time. I needed His enabling gift in my life.  Grace is power not just pardon, WOW!  Indeed, we live through and by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Romans 5:1-2 says, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."  Amen!  Galations 5:4 says, "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."  When I was living after the flesh, I had fallen from grace.   Grace for the Christian comes in four favors; convicting grace, saving grace, living grace and dying grace. Bear with me while I share what I found on the internet.

 

Convicting Grace: This is the only type of grace that God will dispense in the life of an unbeliever. The truth is the journey across the great divide to salvation cannot come without convicting grace. “No one can come to me” Jesus said, “unless the Father who sent me draws him.” (John 6:44) What Jesus meant is we cannot earn salvation. It is a gift from God.

All of us distinctly remember the moment when convicting grace was present in our lives. You simply cannot mistake it for anything else. It covers you like a blanket and will not leave you alone. You can deny it and eventually it will go way. But when it comes, it brings one of two things with it – life or death. God provides it, but the decision as to what to do with it is ours.

Saving Grace: Saving grace is what Jesus did for us on the cross. Once we become convicted about how we are living our life and for whom we are living it, we must then make a decision as to whether we actually believe that Jesus really died on the cross for us. The Bible says if we believe in both his death on the cross and his resurrection from the grave, and confess to such, we are saved.

For many of us, the journey between convicting grace and saving grace is a short one. I can’t count how many times God knocked on the door of my heart before I decided to accept his invitation. The road between convicting grace and saving grace is a dangerous one, especially the longer it becomes.

Living Grace: There’s nothing like it. I marvel at how much trouble the world can bring my way and how little I let it worry me. God never gives me a lot of grace each day. It’s far too precious to waste. But he gives me enough to make it in spite of whatever may come my way.

Dying Grace: I believe every believer will receive dying grace before the Lord calls him home. I saw it in my mother and sister's journey before God called them home.  Once afraid of dying, their faith in Jesus Christ helped them conquer the one last fear that seemed to haunt them. I have seen it in the elderly whom I have had the priviledge to be with them when they went to be with the Lord. dying grace is a blessing!  And I’ve seen it in my own life. The older I get, the less I fear death. It’s living that scares the most now.

 

I sit in the lap of Grace and Mercy embraced me was how God revealed Himself to me in a powerful way during that season in my life.  I want to share more about Mercy too. Please stay tune for the next post.  God bless you!
