Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed. (Rom_4:16)
"of faith according to grace"
Oh, how beautiful these words!!! Not of works, or performance, or anything we can do, accept to believe HIM who is faithful... My precious brothers and sisters, this should bring us such joy and victory in our walk with HIM... It is not dependent upon us, but just to have faith... Yes, I know that many of the promises of the scriptures are conditional to our actions, and this does not absolve us from our responsibilities as Soldiers of the King, but it is our precious reminder that it is NOT on our shoulders to make it happen... Serve faithfully and cling tightly to the promises that HE has given... HE knows we will falter and fail, that we are not able to do this on our own... HE is faithful to HIS words, always... Hold tightly to the faith in HIM, and HIS grace... For it is that very Grace Nature of God that will see this through to completion...
Be blessed in the all-surpassing grace of Jesus Christ, hold faithfully to the promises HE has given... The rest will follow in HIS perfect timing by HIS abundant Grace and Faithfulness...
God Bless you all, until next time....
