GRACE, Exploring Its Riches

who you are or what you do, the grace of God can work
through your life. However, this grace will not leave you
the same way it met you.

ii. Grace is God’s ability placed upon man to walk
with God. It is naturally impossible for man to walk
with God. God is Spirit and man is just human. Flesh
and blood cannot survive the presence of God. This is
why flesh and blood cannot receive divine
inheritance, nor inherit God’s Kingdom (1 Cor.
15:50). It takes the help of God for man to stand
before the LORD or be able to walk with Him. This
was why, when the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was
accepted with God, it provided a means (grace) by
which anyone can approach unto God. It is by God’s
grace that we are able to stand before Him, fellowship
with Him individually or corporately, receive benefit
from Him and our lives are preserved. It is all purely
by God’s grace. Grace is that divine enabling to meet
the standards of God. It is grace that enables us to do
God’s will. Whatever your vocation, calling or deed,
the grace of God can operate in your life to make your
deeds well pleasing before God.

iii. Grace is the ability of God that makes any man able
to represent God. God does not discriminate.
Education, scholarship, socially advantaged
background, illiteracy destitution or privileged
upbringing; none of these serves as basis or deterrent
