February 16, 2019 CAC LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE : TOPIC - THE GRACE OF GOD (I)

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC - THE GRACE OF GOD (I)

Read: Romans 5:15-21

 [15]But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.[16]And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
[17]For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)[18]Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.[19]For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.[20]Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:[21]That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

MEMORISE: But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many_ (Romans 5:15).

EXPOSITION
Grace is an essential part of God’s character. It is an unmerited or undeserved favour, blessing or kindness. The gospel message is the good news of God’s grace *(Tit.2:11).* It is necessary for every Christian to know what the grace of God is, and to consistently seek to get a better view of what grace does in our lives. When this word, grace, is used in connection with God, it takes on more powerful meaning. Grace is God’s choice to bless us rather than curse us as our sin deserve. It is His benevolence to the undeserving (Eph. 2:8-9). If you have a strong conviction that you are a partaker of God’s grace through Christ, thank God for that.

Grace is God’s favour toward the unworthy, or His benevolence on the undeserving. God is willing to forgive and bless us abundantly, in spite of the fact that we do not deserve to be treated so well or dealt with so generously. This grace is God giving the greatest treasure to the least deserving which is everyone of us (Rom. 5:8). God’s grace is truly amazing because of the following reasons:
It enables us to live abundant life in Jesus Christ (2 Cor.9:8).
This grace is available to us at all times, for every problem and need that we face (2 Cor. 12:7-10).
God’s grace frees us from slavery to sin, guilt, and shame (Rom.6:14, 7:4-6).
It allows us to pursue good works (Eph.3:20, 2 Cor. 9:8).
It enables us to be all that God intends us to be (1 Cor. 15:9-10).
It provides us access to God to communicate and fellowship with Him (Eph. 1:6, Heb. 4:16).

For anyone to have a right to this special grace of God, he or she has to accept Christ as his/her personal Lord and Saviour. Are you truly born again? Do you have assurance of your salvation? Think about these two questions and take the right steps. If something like grace is free, somebody must have paid for it. It means nothing goes for nothing. The Bible tells us the only channel to have access to the grace of salvation (Rom.6:23).

PRAYER POINTS
1. Let Your grace, oh Lord, be sufficient for me to live my life the way You want, in Jesus’ name,
2. Lord Jesus, I ask for enough grace to gain complete freedom from slavery to sin.
3. Pray for our church leaders to possess the grace to pursue good works for the progress of the mission
