GRACE…

2 Timothy 1:9. “He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,”

John 1:16. “Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.”

Titus 2:11-12. “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,”

Romans 5:8. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

John 1:14. “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

GOD’S GRACE 

[fullnessofjoy]

And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

John 1:16 KJV

Jesus is our bridge, connecting us to Abba

When God created the world and made Adam and Eve, He lived among them and His Creation was perfect. Once they disobeyed Him, sin was born. It broke the perfection God intended from the start. It separated us from Him.

But He never ever stopped being their Father who loves and created them (and us).

Adam and Eve separated us from God but Jesus brings us back to God.

As a bridge closes the gap between two places, Jesus and His Sacrifice close the gap between us and God, connecting us to Him.

Jesus willingly came down from Heaven and was born of the Virgin Mary as a man—The Son of Man—to connect and relate to us. He was born human and grew up in a loving family and experienced life as we do. Day to day life in our world is something He already knew but now we can relate to Him. He connects us to Himself.

“But as many, as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13 NASB)

“For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.” (John 1:16 NASB)

We know He fully understands what we feel and why we feel the way we do. We believe He came down from Heaven to save us from a harsh world. He endured the harshest punishment, which we deserved. He was sinless but bore all our sins. God sent Him to take our place and unite us to Himself.

To forgive; to save us.

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)

“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)

He is our Way to the Father. As God’s One and Only Son He opens His Arms to welcome us as God’s Children. We can now call on GOD as Abba, Father as Jesus did when He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane…

“Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” (Mark 14:36)

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

Jesus is the most perfect example of God’s Agape Love for us.
