Daily Affirmations - Day 2 - Your Grace Over Me - God of All Grace
Day 2: God of all grace
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14).
The great God is pleased to manifest Himself in Christ, as the God of all grace. This grace is manifold, pardoning, converting, restoring, persevering grace— bestowed upon the miserable and worthless.
Grace finds the sinner in a hopeless, helpless state; sitting in darkness, and in the shadow of death. Grace...
pardons the guilt of sin,
cleanses the pollution of sin,
and subdues the power of sin.
Grace...
sustains the bruised reed,
binds up the broken heart,
and fans the smoking flax into a flame.
Grace restores the soul when wandering, revives it when fainting, heals it when wounded, upholds it when ready to fall, and at last makes it more than conqueror over all opposition— and then bestows a crown of everlasting life!
But all this grace is established and displayed in the Lord Jesus. Without Him living, dying, rising, reigning, and interceding in the behalf of sinners— such astonishing grace would never have been known!
"By the grace of God I am what I am!" 1 Corinthians 15:10
~ John Newton, The God of All Grace, from Grace Gems
More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.
Refrain:
More, more about Jesus;
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.
More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern.
Spirit of God, my Teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.
More about Jesus in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in ev'ry line,
Making each faithful saying mine.
More about Jesus on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom's sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of Peace
~ E. E. Hewitt, 1887
