Did
you know that St. Paul was chosen by God as the apostle of grace? He was God’s
great example of grace, the “chief of sinners” saved by grace (1 Timothy
1:12-16). To him was committed “the dispensation of the grace of God” (Ephesians
3:2). He was sent forth to proclaim “the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24).
Paul wrote far more
about grace than any other Bible writer. All his epistles open or close (or
both) with the salutation “Grace be to you.” He declares:
“We have redemption
through [Christ's] blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of
His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).
He shows how this
grace was planned for believers in ages past:
“Who hath saved us
and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according
to His own purpose and [His own] grace which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began” (II Timothy 1:9).
He shows how this
grace will be ours in ages to come:
“That in the ages to
come, He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7).
He shows how this
grace is greater than all our sins:
“Where sin abounded
grace did much more abound” (Romans 5:20).
He shows how grace
gives us a righteous standing before God:
“Being justified
freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).
He shows how God’s
grace has given believers a position in heaven:
“[He] hath… made us
sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus… for by grace are ye saved,
through faith….” (Ephesians 2:6,8).
He shows how God’s
grace is sufficient for our difficulties and can help us to live consistent
Christian lives:
“My grace is
sufficient for thee” (II Corinthians 12:9).
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (II Corinthians 9:8).
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (II Corinthians 9:8).
Accept salvation “by
grace, through faith” as “the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8,9), and eternal life
is yours.
