Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
Living in the abundance of God’s grace means recognizing that His grace is more than enough to meet all our needs. Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love and kindness toward us that we did not earn and do not deserve. It is by grace that we are saved, sustained, and empowered to live godly lives. When we embrace this grace, we find strength in our weaknesses and hope in our challenges.
God’s grace is not just for our salvation but also for our daily living. It empowers us to overcome sin, to love others, and to fulfill God’s purposes for our lives. As we grow in our understanding and appreciation of God’s grace, we learn to depend on Him more fully and trust that He will provide for every need, big or small.
