Today's Devotion:
"The GRACE that SAVES and HOLDS"
HI!
The little boy began pitching a fit!
In the middle of the living room floor, he began
dancing as if he had ants on his feet.
He was flailing his arms aimlessly, caring not
if they struck anything or anybody.
The boy's father ran over and picked him up.
He captured him in his arms and held him tightly.
Soon, the boy's temperament returned to normal.
A visitor noted to the father, "If that were my child,
I would have spanked him!"
The father said, "Yes, but you are not his father.
You haven't spent the time with him that I have.
You don't know the times we've spent in the
doctor's offices trying to find what causes this.
I have talked to him, and I have spanked him.
But nothing calms him down like holding him in
love!"
_______SCRIPTURE____________
John 1:16-17
16 And of His fulness have all we received, and
grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
Grace is the undeserved, unearned favor of God.
Grace called us through Christ to conviction,
convincing and salvation.
And grace STILL moves upon Christians after
salvation!
Christians are KEPT "...by the power of God through
faith unto salvation...." (1Peter 1:5)
Yes, this is grace that convicts us when we sin.
Yes, this is grace that continually convinces us
Jesus is Lord.
Yes, this grace is UNTO salvation through faith in
Jesus Christ.
But this grace goes even FURTHER!
It is more than redemptive grace, it is preemptive
grace!
It is the upholstery added to the skeleton of the couch
of salvation.
It is the rainbow in the cloudy sky of the world’s
confusion.
Thank God for this special grace which:
seals us in salvation,
encourages us when difficulty appears,
carries us when we are cursed for moral principles,
lifts us when we are discouraged,
and keeps us until that final day!!
Grace for grace CAME BY JESUS CHRIST!
BELIEVE and RECEIVE!
His love will HOLD you!
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
