God's Grace in You

God's grace is unmerited favor for you. There is no way you can merit nor earn the favor of God. It comes to you only as the gift of God. Faith in Jesus Christ saves you by the grace of God. Don't fall for the idea that you can somehow be good enough to merit God's favor. Grace is not for good people. Grace is for sinners, and that includes all of us (Romans 3:23).

God's grace in you is salvation from the law of sin and death. It is by grace through faith you are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9). God works in and through you to do his will by grace. The Spirit of grace works in your heart, which is the mind, will, and emotions. God's grace gives you the ability and desire to do God's will (Philippians 2:13).

God's grace is in you through the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace reveals Christ to you and in you (Galatians 2:20). It's not what you do for God (Romans 11:6). Grace is what God has done for you in Christ. All that you are, or ever hope to be, is by the grace of God.

God's grace in you is not in vain. The apostle Paul testified, "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (First Corinthians 15:10). As a believer you can say, "by the grace of God, I am what I am."
