GRACE 

8/20/06 Brother Lee Dotson

Grace is what Jesus gave us when He came from the Throne of God, took on a robe of flesh ,dwelled among men ,hung on a ole rugged cross ,for the sins of the whole world. But grace doesn't stop there it is a never ending gift that God gives us daily .

Grace is much more than merely an event that takes place when an individual is ‘born again' into the Kingdom of God. Grace is much more than an idea that must be understood. Grace is a super natural work of God that is real. It is a true encounter between a supernatural God and frail humanity. Grace is power from above dispersed to meet the needs of our lives.

We are not living a life of abundance because we are not properly using the fullness of God's grace and truth. John says this Jesus who was with God and was God and was make like one of us. Jesus was tempted in all points as we were and yet remained without sin.. This same Jesus who raised dead people from the grave and who laid down His life. It is this Jesus whom we " who have believed" have received of all His fullness.

God doesn't pour out His grace simply to ‘bless our socks off' or to fatten His babies. Grace is powerful with purpose. When He disperses His grace it is for the glory of His Kingdom. God desires to make us whole that we might truly fulfill our purpose. What is that purpose? To bring glory and honor to the Name of the Jesus. 

I Peter As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever.
