Thought For Today (July 11, 2012): Grace Operates Through Faith

Grace operates through faith.

Ephesians 2:8-10 reads: < For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. >

Grace operates to facilitate GOD’s Righteousness functioning in our being and in our lives.

Romans 10:10-11 reads: < for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” >

2 Corinthians 5:21 reads: < He (YHWH) made Him (the MESSIAH) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. >

To ensure that the highest levels of YHWH’s Righteousness be made accessible to us, by grace through faith, YESHUA has become the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Hebrews 12:1c-2 reads: < let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. >

By grace, through faith in CHRIST JESUS, we cannot fail. Amen!
