2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Yesterday we looked at receiving God's grace but have you ever asked yourself what am I receiving when I receive grace? It's good to remind ourselves so let's look at part of it...
We receive God's amazing gift of forgiveness for all our sins past, present and future because Jesus went to the cross for us and when we believe He rose from the dead we then receive His gift of righteousness and everlasting life in Him as well. That is all huge but that's not all...
We receive healing for all our diseases and infirmities whether of body, mind or our souls. (Isaiah 53, Psalm 103, 1 Peter 2:24). It's all included in the finished work of Jesus on the cross, not separate.
We receive His provision for us out of His riches in heaven by Christ Jesus so we have more than enough. He became poor so we could become rich to also be a blessing to others. (Phil. 4:19, 2 Cor.8:9)
We receive His favour like a shield so we'll be at the right place at the right time to meet the right people. (Psalm 5:12 Nkjv)
We receive His protection as He guards us and keeps us from all harm when we're trusting in the blood of Jesus. (Exodus 12:23, Psalm 91, Psalm 121).
This is just part of the abundance of His grace so when we open ourselves up to receive His grace we're receiving all of the above and much more besides. It is amazing grace! We have an amazing, wonderful Saviour and can be so glad Jesus came into this world to save us.😊 Thank You Jesus.
