When we believe on the Lord Jesus, we are justified (declared not guilty, righteous in Gods sight). Thereby, we obtain the spiritual inheritance of the children of God: the word of His grace, which is able to…give you an inheritance. This same grace of God then becomes our heavenly resource for progressive sanctification (practical growth in godliness): the word of His grace, which is able to build you up. Part of growing in godliness involves being set free from the dominating influence of sin in our lives. Gods grace provides this liberating reality. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace (Romans 6:14). As we learn to live by Gods grace, instead of by our own best performance, the grace of God is working deep within us, bringing spiritual stability to our inner man. It is good that the heart be established by grace (Hebrews 13:9).
