Impact of God’s Grace

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service. — 1 Timothy 1:12

We minister by grace. We are saved and made holy by God's grace given us in Jesus. We are declared holy and blameless before God because of the grace of Jesus. We are given a gift to use in ministry for the Church because of the grace of Jesus. We are given strength from the Holy Spirit to persevere during difficult times because of the grace of God in Jesus. So what ministry we find ourselves capable of performing, what opportunities we have to serve and make a difference in people's lives, and what power we have in fulfilling our ministry are all given to us. It is not something to boast about. The Lord's power is made perfect in weakness as we offer ourselves to him to be used for his glory.

Mysteries of Word of God

. God’s Kingdom – Mark 4:11
He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God  has been given to you. But to those on the outside  everything is said in parables

. Hardness of the Israelites -  Romans 11:25
I do not want you to be ignorant  of this mystery,  brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:  Israel has experienced a hardening  in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,

. Gospel of Christ – Romans 16:25
Now to him who is able  to establish you in accordance with my gospel,  the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery  hidden for long ages past,

. Wisdom of God – 1 Corinthians 2:7
No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery  that has been hidden  and that God destined for our glory before time began.

Thoughts 

. God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription.  The Lord doesn’t promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments.  He promises us Himself.  That is all.  And that is enough. - Charles Swindoll

. It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life. - Thomas Kempis
