A Walk in Grace

A Faith Walk in Grace.

It pleased God to save you [1 Corinthians 1:21]. God was pleased when, by the foolishness of preaching, you became a believer and were saved.

In fact, it pleased God to bruise His Son in your place [Isaiah 53:10]. The sinless Lamb or God, Jesus, the Christ, God's Messiah took your place of condemnation and punishment. It was the plan and purpose of God and it still gives Him great pleasure as it prospers in His hand [2 Corinthians 5:21].

It gives God pleasure to make the mystery of His will known to you. [Ephesians 1:9]

God purposed in His heart to make the mystery of His will known to you. Press in, seek the treasure that lies hidden just beneath the surface of your Bible studies. He purposed in Himself to show you mysteries. [Ephesians 3:20]

It gives God good pleasure to work in you [Philippians. 2:13]. When you allow God to work in you He receives good pleasure. All you have to do is let the Holy Spirit work. God will do the rest. [Romans 8:14]

It gives your Father good pleasure to give you the kingdom [Luke 12:32]. You are told to fear not! That should signal you to arise in faith to lay hold of what gives God good pleasure. Faith is always the opposite of fear. You give God pleasure when you receive all of what He has given.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Then What?

Then you will take your place as Christ's Ambassador and enter into the ministry of reconciliation.

2 Cor. 5:18-20 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

The realization that God chose you and has committed into your hands the ministry of reconciliation will thrill and empower you. As God's Ambassador you will realize your purpose for living and your intended place of authority.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

When you really realize that you are actually a new creature and that your past has nothing whatever to do with you, that you are chosen and that you have been given a ministry, then, and only then, will you begin to show forth (display) the praises of Him Who has called you.
