Part 1 of 3"God's Grace Towards Us"

Grace builds us up and gives us an inheritance.

Acts 20:32 AMP

 And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor]. It is able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul).

Grace justifies us.

Romans 3:24 AMP

   [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,

Grace gives us gifts.

Romans 12:6-8 AMP

 Having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them: [He whose gift is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his faith;

 [He whose gift is] practical service, let him give himself to serving; he who teaches, to his teaching;

 He who exhorts (encourages), to his exhortation; he who contributes, let him do it in simplicity and liberality; he who gives aid and superintends, with zeal and singleness of mind; he who does acts of mercy, with genuine cheerfulness and joyful eagerness.

Grace gives us consolation and hope.

2Thes 2:16 AMP

  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, Who loved us and gave us everlasting consolation and encouragement and well-founded hope through [His] grace (unmerited favor),

Grace of God is full of faith and love.

1Tim 1:14 AMP

And the grace (unmerited favor and blessing) of our Lord [actually] flowed out superabundantly and beyond measure for me, accompanied by faith and love that are [to be realized] in Christ Jesus.

 Grace provides help in the time of need.

Hebrews 4:16 AMP

 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].

 Study these scriptures. They define many of the roles that the Holy Spirit enaccts in our life to help us follow the path that God has put us on.
