on grace…
Pause for a moment in order to see grace clearly again | think about this: Romans 5:2
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God (ESV).
Through him —Christ from verse 1 — we have access to the same grace that justified us — if we are justified, we have Christ — the one who is filled with grace. The word access could also be translated introduction. Think about that for a moment | the grace that justified us introduces us to the grace that God is continually bestowing upon us for living today!
Need grace today to overcome a trial or temptation that you seem to constantly battle? In the midst of taking fire from the weapons of the enemy, do you need to regain clear vision once again? Do you need grace to continue living? some may – actually all of us do > without exception. Meditate on this throughout the day: you have access to all of God’s grace in Christ.
