Grace provides, love gives, faith receives. The gospel of grace is a gospel of righteousness because it is the manifested plan of God for the welfare of those who will believe it. The kingdom of God is a righteous kingdom and all that God does within His kingdom is righteous. Matthew 6:33 Romans 14:17 The gospel of grace provides: Salvation Redemption Forgiveness for all sin Righteousness An inheritance Mercy Power Love Health Happiness Peace All physical and spiritual resources All that pertains to life and godliness The unconditional love of the Father gives: Everything that He has provided through grace 1 Peter 1:4 – “As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 – “but as it is written: “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 2 Corinthians 1:20 – “ for all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen, in the glory of God through us. Romans 11:29 – “For the gifts and the callings of god are irrevocable.” James 1:17 – Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Through faith we receive all that grace provides and the Father gives. The measure of our faith is determined by how willing we are to receive what God has promised us. When we receive what God offers we allow Him to do for us what He desires to do.
