Let There Be Grace

We continue where we left off yesterday, with another scripture medley. Today’s post is entirely scripture, prepared using BibleHub.com, an online Bible resource.

As I slowed down to read through each verse in many different translations, I was very much aware of:

• Who was speaking (made clear by the reference)
• Who it is who was or is the recipient of grace
• Whether the verse was testimony, instruction, promise or warning
• The centrality of the theme of grace in scripture

I hope you’ll take some time with this and not rush through…

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me–and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.

– Ephesians 3:2 NIV

Then when he arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord;

But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
– Hebrews 2:9 ESV

– Luke 2:40 NASB

We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.
– 2 Corinthians 1:12 NLT

Here’s another collection we posted previously:

^{Galatians (NLT) 5:4} For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

^{Romans (Voice) 10:4} But Christ makes the Law no longer necessary for those who become acceptable to God by faith.

^{Hebrews (AMP) 10:14} For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy.

^{Romans (NASB) 5:19} For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

And one more passage:

⁵ Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

⁶ Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁷ That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.   Titus 3:5-7
