The Spirit of Grace is the Life-giving Spirit

It has been said that grace is unmerited favour. It is but it is more than a way of papering over our inability to keep the law. Grace is God’s Way of making His Son’s life ours.

Grace is not an opportunity for sin. Neither is it an excuse to live in impurity and indulgence. Grace is the means by which the life of Christ is imparted to those whom Jesus is transforming. Grace is the means by which we live in God’s Son to be transformed into sons. Grace is the means by which we live move and have our being in God.

Grace is God loving the world so that the world can become the Kingdom of His Son. Grace is Jesus, given to us by the Father and imparted to us by the Holy Spirit. Grace is the manifestation of Jesus in your world through you. Grace is the authority of Christ restored to your marriage, family and business. Grace is the Person of Jesus in us and more. It is the Spirit of Christ as us.

‘Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do’ Eph 2.4-10 NIV.
