1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
The Apostle Paul tells of God’s Grace in his life.
The dictionary defines grace as, "unmerited help given to people by God."
But Grace is much more than that. This definition is more thorough:
"The merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues."
That is grace! Without the Grace of God where would we be?
Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing
_____________________________________
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, — Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; — Streams of mercy, never ceasing, — Call for songs of loudest praise. — Teach me some melodious sonnet, — Sung by flaming tongues above; — Praise His Name! I’m fixed upon it, — Name of God’s redeeming love.
Oh, to grace how great a debtor, — Daily I’m constrained to be! — Let Thy goodness like a fetter, — Bind my yielded heart to Thee. — Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, — Prone to leave the God I love. — Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it, — Seal it for Thy courts above.
Robert Robinson 1758
