Amazing grace...

The Lord has really been impressing upon me the amazing blessings of His grace which are poured upon all of us daily in overwhelming abundance. One simple example is this beautiful sunset which was such a blessing to me Wednesday night. God's uncomprehendable grace is also seen permeating His glorious Word. Here are a few examples:

God’s amazing grace sent His only Son to earth to die for us.
2Co 8:9 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be rich.

God’s amazing grace strengthens us in our weakness.
2Co 12:9 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God’s amazing grace allows us to part of the family of God.
Eph 1:6 - To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.

God’s amazing grace has rescued us from ourselves!
Eph 2:8 - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

God’s amazing grace has nothing to do with our own works or worthiness.
2Ti 1:9 - Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began…

God’s amazing grace supports us through difficult times.
Heb 4:16 - Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

God’s amazing grace has no end and is poured out even more generously on the humble.
Jas 4:6 - But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.

God’s grace sustains us through suffering by promising eternal freedom from suffering in heaven.
1Pe 5:10 - But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

God’s grace comforts and keeps us to the very end.
Re 22:21 - The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I am humbled by my unworthiness as a recipient of God's amazing grace and echo the hymn writer's thought, "How can it be? ...that thou my God, shouldst die for me." My personal response to the fresh view of this amazing grace which I have had this week has also been echoed by a new rendition of the famous hymn which says, "I'll sing throughout eternity, amazing grace, amazing love." I'll conclude this post with the full text of this beautiful song...

Amazing Grace, Amazing Love

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.

Amazing love, how can it be, that Thou my God, shouldst die for me? I'll sing throughout eternity, amazing grace, amazing love.

Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree.

Amazing grace shall ever be my song of praise my highest call. Love so amazing so divine, demands my life, my all.
