The Ability of Grace

 

And now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance. (Act_20:32)

Grace has such marvelous ability:
1. Giving us eternal inheritance
2. To build us up here on Earth for greater service and increased fruitfulness

We who believe in Jesus are God's children, "and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ" (Rom_8:17).

We are blessed beyond measure to know that heavenly treasures of fellowship, worship, and service await God's children in glory above. All of these eternal riches are ours by the grace of God alone.

God's amazing grace also has the ability to build us up as we await our inheritance here on earth below. It is essential to remember, however, that God's grace is what accomplishes the building up process. "The word of His grace, which is able to build you up."

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
(2 Timothy 1:6 NKJV)
