How Grace Is Sufficient

God says, "My grace is sufficient for you"(2 Corinthians 12:9). Grace is God's gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace brings favor from God, when you don't deserve it. Grace gives you all that you receive from God. Grace can never be bought, earned, nor achieved through personal effort. Grace always comes freely from the God of all grace. 

God's grace is sufficient to give you life, abundant life, and life eternal. Believers may truly say, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10). All we are, or ever hope to be, is by God's grace. 

God's grace is sufficient to change your life. The fullness of that grace is found in Christ alone (John 1:16). Nothing else in all the world can change you but God's grace in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Grace operates directly on your heart, to change you from the inside out. Grace changes your mind to understand the things of God. Grace changes your will to seek God. Grace changes your emotions to have a tender heart for God.

God's grace is always sufficient in Jesus Christ. It's not of your works. It's all of grace (Titus 3:5-7). Come out with your hands up. Lift your hands to the God of all grace. He alone is the One who changes you from glory into glory. Surrender to God's grace. "It was grace that brought you safe thus far, and grace will lead you home." God's grace is sufficient for you.
