Saved by God’s Grace to Walk in the Power of His
Might
An abundance of grace is available to us and we can reign in life by
Jesus Christ…
.
.
We have God’s grace to walk in the
power of His might! We can be strengthened in the Lord and in the exerted power
of His might. And in our walk for Him, we can minister grace to one another.
.
As
born-again believers, we have the gift of Holy Spirit. God gave us this
inherent spiritual ability, and now we are stewards of God’s grace. We can be
strong in the Lord and use our spiritual ability to minister God’s grace so
that our heavenly Father gets the glory.
.
There is much we can learn in the Word
of God about who we are and what we have spiritually. It’s an exciting trail of
discovery. Our lives reflect the brilliance of God’s power in action in the
world. Through the accomplished works of Jesus Christ, God has made us His
workmanship, His masterpiece.

Have you seen the television commercials
that show how a person can research their family history on the Internet with
simply a few clicks of a button?
With the abundant resources online, even
one bit of knowledge can lead to an exciting trail of discovery.
One man was surprised to learn that one of
his ancestors lived next door to Orville and Wilbur Wright, those famous
aviation pioneers!
While it may be interesting and even
inspiring to search for one’s ancestral identity, there is even greater satisfaction
in discovering our heritage as God’s children.
We can know who we are and what we have
spiritually.
It is by God’s grace that we become His
children.
The record of God’s
Word shows our spiritual background — from “dead
in trespasses and sins” to “quickened…
together with Christ.”
It shows a past of
walking “according to the course of this
world” and a life now of walking God’s way, “in the power of his might.”
We see our past in Ephesians 2:1-3:
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses
and sins;
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course
of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience:
“Among whom also we all had our conversation in times
past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”
Ephesians 2:4-6,8:
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us,
“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith [the faith of
Jesus Christ]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
When we are saved by grace, we receive the
gift of Holy Spirit (Acts
2:38),
which is “power from on high” (Luke 24:49).
“But ye shall receive power [inherent spiritual
ability], after that the Holy Ghost [holy spirit] is come upon you….”
Now we can walk each day with power. We
have God’s grace to walk in the power of His might!
Ephesians 6:10:
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of his might.”
We can be strengthened in the Lord and in
the exerted power of His might. And in our walk for Him, we can minister grace
to one another.
I Peter 4:10:
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister
the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
We can be strong in the Lord and use our
spiritual ability to minister God’s grace so that our heavenly Father gets the
glory.
How electrifying it was to my soul when I
learned from God’s Word that I was saved by His grace and could walk by the
power of His might rather than my own.
There is much we can learn in the Word of
God about who we are and what we have spiritually. It’s an exciting trail of
discovery.
We will see that when we recognize the
grace of God that is available to us, receive this grace into our lives, and
decide to act upon it, we are men and women who walk by God’s mighty power!
Our lives reflect the brilliance of God’s
power in action in the world.
In order to walk powerfully for God, we
first need to recognize the grace of God that is available to us. Let’s go back
to Ephesians 2.
Ephesians 2:8-10:
“For by grace are ye saved through faith [the faith of
Jesus Christ]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
“Not of works, lest any man should boast.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Through the accomplished works of Jesus
Christ, God has made us His workmanship, His masterpiece.
What comes to mind when you think of a
masterpiece in music, art, or film?
It’s likely that you think of its
uniqueness, its value, or the wonderment of how it came to be.
This is true of us as His masterpiece as
well. The Book of Romans teaches us more about the grace available to us.
Romans 5:8 and 17:
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much
more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”
Here we see that an abundance of grace is available to us. And not only that, we can reign in life by Jesus Christ….
