The grace of the Lord is needed to triumph in this christian race and in life; and it is available to all who believe, those who surrender their lives to God in total submission to his will and his purpose.
Paul's prayer for the grace of the lord Jesus Christ to be made available to us at the end of every letter he wrote to the churches implies that he knew the essence of the grace of God in the lives of all men, for even his salvation is a good example of grace,Ephesians 2:8-10:
'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.'
Grace brings us away from our labour into the rest he has for us, taking away our strife and stress even frustration to living the heavenly life on earth (Hebrews 4:1-9). This is where God wants us to reside, in his finished work called GRACE, our ability and hard work can have a limited effect but faith in God's grace elevates us to an unlimited position in Christ, where we can function in the highest capacity of relevance and influence.
Today, we can determine to rest from our work and rely on his grace for us.
