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. 

Full Salvation In Christ

Full salvation is from God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The triune God is full salvation. One eternal God is experienced in our salvation. Consider how our salvation is the work of the Holy Trinity.

Full salvation is from the Father, through the Son and by the Holy Spirit. You come to know God as your Father, through faith in God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. The only way to God the Father is through God the Son (John 14:1-6). Salvation is applied to you by God the Holy Spirit. The Godhead is revealed to you in salvation.

God the Holy Spirit enables you to come by faith to God the Son. "No one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:3). God the Holy Spirit leads you to believe the gospel. You believe Christ died for your sins. You believe Christ is risen from the dead. You believe and confess Jesus is Lord.

God the Holy Spirit gives the assurance of full salvation, as you confess Jesus is Lord. "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God" (Romans 8:16). This is your assurance: "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
