Gratitude for the Grace of God

by Doy Moyer

The grace of God through Jesus Christ is one of the most powerful concepts to consider. We stand in the grace of God as we have peace (reconciliation) with Him (Romans 5:1-5). As great as this is, it is also a concept that can be twisted, perverted, and become a license to sin (Romans 6:1-5; Jude 4). This is why we must understand the grace of God in truth (Colossians 1:3-6).

Since God has offered it to us, our response needs to be gratitude and thankfulness so that we will “continue in the grace of God” (Acts 13:43). Our confidence is to be in the Lord and the promises He makes. Then our hope is firm and steadfast, the anchor of the soul (Hebrews 6:19). Our loyalty and faithfulness must be firm as well, never casting away our confidence in Him (Hebrews 10:35).
