Good things are on our list of things to possess as our own. Rare is the individual who does not want to get good stuff, even if in a limited measure and quality. Perhaps some folks perceive a greater measure of “stature” by possessing good stuff. Well, then, what about the grace of God? Is it not what we should seek to possess? Yes, of course. Therefore, consider that the mediate Source of grace flowing from the Father’s throne is the Son of God (Romans 1:5). Our assurance that divine grace will be extended to all men (Titus 2:11-12) is evidenced both prophetically and by promise (1 Peter 1:10; Zechariah 12:10). The grace of God serves distinct and wonderful purposes, including our personal salvation (Ephesians 2:8), our justification (Romans 3:24), our receipt of the imputation of righteousness (Romans 5:15-17), our sufficiency in all things (2 Corinthians 9:8), our abounding to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8) and our receipt of the gift of eternal life (Romans 5:20-21). Knowing that such blessings flow from the grace of God, let us endeavor to access this grace in a divinely approved manner and in accord with the expressed Word of God. Surely, the grace of God may not be accessed in any other manner. Grace is worth our obedience.
