GRACE OF GOD
David Abankwah
READ: 1 Corinthians 3:10
And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
-Romans 5:16 | NKJV
It is high time we valued the grace of God. Because many don’t value the grace God has given to them through His Son Jesus Christ, that is why many deliberately sin. When someone doesn’t value the gift you have given to him, he can even throw it away or give it to someone else. The one who values the gift you have given the person will use it. If it is a dress or footwear, the person will wear it for you to see. The question is, do you know the weight of God’s grace? Do you know what it means for God to die and save man from his sins? Do you know what is ahead of us in eternity that God knows more than us? If you know, you won’t sin anymore.
Grace is an unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification. Grace is a virtue which comes from God and not man. Grace is approval or favour. Grace means pardon or mercy shown towards men by God. Grace is a special favour or privilege. Grace is disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency. Grace is a temporary exemption that God shows towards someone who believes in His Son Jesus Christ so He can save the person from eternal damnation. Grace is the ease or suppleness or support that the Holy Spirit gives to believers so they can become Christians.
Anyone who sin is legible for eternal damnation. Many don’t have any idea about Hades. Many don’t have any idea about the lake of fire. Can you imagine the soul burning in a fire that is lake at the same time? You are stuck or drowning in the water which is also a fire. There is no time to rest. There is no food to eat. There is no water to drink. If you can’t put your hand in the fire you have lit in your own kitchen, then don’t think you can stand the lake of fire. The lake of fire was not made for man but for the devil and his cohorts. Angels were made with wind and fire, but God has made the lake of fire in such a way that, it can burn a fiery angel for him to feel an unimaginable pain.
If an angel who is fire cannot stand the lake of fire, if you are human as a fireless being, think twice! It is because of this eternal damnation that God saw that man can’t stand it that was why He sent His one and only begotten Son to die and to save us from that. That is what is popularly know as SALVATION. We are first saved from sin because it is sin that can lead us there. Because the wages of sin is not a physical death only (Romans 6:23) but the second death (Revelation 21:8). This salvation is a gift that God gives to anyone who believes in the name of Jesus Christ, practise righteous life and also has the Holy Spirit too.

Lift up prayers for your spiritual senses to perceive the grace of God as most important so you will not live your life anyhow in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
God knows no humans can stand the lake of fire that is why His grace is given for its escape.
