Experience the Grace of the Lord – the Abounding, Timely, and Multiplying Grace

Thank the Lord that He is grace to us, and we believers in Christ can experience the grace of the Lord as revealed in the New Testament.

We have faith and love through His grace, we stand in His abounding grace, we enjoy comfort and hope in grace, we come to the throne of grace, we receive the supply of all grace, we enjoy the multiplying grace, and even enjoy God’s greater grace by being humble.

There are many aspects of grace, and we as believers in Christ can and should experience Christ as grace!

Grace is not something God gives us or does for us; grace is not merely unmerited favour. Even more, grace is not just something outward or some joy, some peace, or some victory.

These may be part of the Lord’s grace or effects of His grace, but grace is the Triune God dispensing Himself in Christ into us, His believers, to be experienced by us as our enjoyment.

God just gives Himself to us in many ways, in many situations, at many times, and in many aspects for us to enjoy Him and partake of Him.

He wants to be enjoyed by us. We, believers in Christ, need to experience the grace of the Lord as revealed in the New Testament. Grace is very much for our experience.

In our natural concept, we think that, if we have a natural weakness or we live in the natural life, we can never enjoy the grace of God. This is our concept, but not the word of God.

It is our destiny to enjoy the grace of God, and it is especially when we are weak that we need His grace.

We have a lot of weaknesses, we fail so much, we are weak, and we are so natural; when we realise all these, we realise our need for the grace of God.

Our destiny was preordained before the foundation of the world, and that is for us to enjoy the grace of God, that is, to enjoy Christ as grace.

Enjoying Christ as grace is not a matter of our ability or spiritual condition; God has ordained us to enjoy grace.

We should not think that, if we are spiritual, we are privileged to enjoy God’s grace, but when we’re not spiritual, we can’t enjoy His grace.

This is a religious concept. We actually enjoy grace more, not when we are spiritual or not weak, but in our weaknesses.

It is in our weaknesses that we come to the Lord in a more desperate way to enjoy Him as grace, partake of Him as grace, and depend on His grace.

May we come as we are, day by day, to enjoy the Lord as grace.

May we realise our need to experience the grace of the Lord as revealed in the New Testament, and may we just come to the Lord to experience Him as grace.

We need to Experience the Grace of the Lord as Revealed in the New Testament

The very first person in the New Testament who experienced grace was Mary. In Luke chapter 1, the angel Gabriel came to her and told her, Rejoice, you have been graced; the Lord is with you.

She was troubled and began reasoning, What does this mean? So the angel told her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Wow!

Then he told her that she would conceive and bear a son, and His name shall be called Jesus, and He will be the Saviour of His people.

Her reaction and response were, Behold, the slave of the Lord! May it happen to me according to Your word.

She enjoyed grace; she was in a low estate, she was humble, and she was simply open, so the Lord had a vessel whom to grace. Grace is really God coming to us to enter into us.

According to the principle of the first mention, in Mary’s case we see the first mention of grace; with her we see God’s incarnation. Grace is Christ coming to us to be everything to us and live in us.

We have Faith and Love through the Lord’s Superabounding Grace

1 Timothy 1:14 speaks of the grace of the Lord superabounding with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

Grace is nothing but Christ Himself, and all our experiences as believers in Christ are experiences of Christ as grace.

We Christians experience the grace of God in the economy of God.

First, we have faith and love through the Lord’s superabounding grace. Thank the Lord that His grace was not just given to us; this grace is superabounding!

The grace of the Lord Jesus is superabounding in us with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

It is by grace that we are saved, and by grace we have faith to believe into the Lord and love to love Him. We need more faith and more love; the way to obtain faith and love is through grace.

When we see the Lord’s beauty, we are captivated by Him, and we enjoy His preciousness. We simply love Him.

When the Lord unveils Himself to us and we see Him, we appreciate Him, faith rises up in us to believe into Him, and we love Him.

By faith, we partake of Christ, and by love, we enjoy Him. Thank the Lord that He comes into us as grace to become our faith and love.

Lord Jesus, we want to enjoy Christ as grace today. May we be those who enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ with our spirit today! Hallelujah, we have faith and love through the Lord’s superabounding grace! Amen, Lord, we want to enjoy You in love and partake of all that You are in faith. Unveil us to see who You are. Infuse us with what You are and become our faith and love! Oh Lord Jesus, we love You! We still love You! We believe into You! You are the most precious One!

We have Obtained Access into Grace and Stand in God’s Superabounding grace

Romans 5:2 tells us that we have obtained access into grace and we stand in grace; this is God’s superabounding grace. By faith we have obtained access into this grace in which we stand.

Today we believers in Christ are not under the law but under the grace in God’s economy.

By faith, which is Christ Himself infusing us with what He is for us to believe into Him and be joined to Him, we have obtained access into grace.

Now we stand in grace. We enjoy the Lord’s superabounding grace.

We don’t just lean upon the Lord; we stand in Him, we are one with Him, and we rest in Him.

Just as we do not lean on an aeroplane when we fly from one city to another but we rest in it, abiding in it, we also do not just lean on Jesus but abide in Him, stand in Him, and rest in Him.

Today we are standing in grace. Hallelujah, sin is erased, and we stand in grace!

We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God!

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for giving us access into grace! Praise the Lord, we have obtained access into grace and we stand in God’s superabounding grace! We open to You, Lord, and we want to continually enjoy You as grace. May we partake of and enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. May we stand in grace today, enjoying the Lord’s superabounding grace. Hallelujah, Christ as the life-giving Spirit is grace to us, and He superabounds to us!

Enjoy God’s Eternal Comfort and Good Hope in Grace

In this grace, we enjoy God’s eternal comfort and good hope (2 Thes. 2:16).

Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father who has loved us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope in grace. This eternal comfort is something that comes to us through grace.

The nature of this comfort is such that it will overcome and it will bring us through anything, for it is an eternal comfort.

The comfort we receive from God is not transitory but eternal; this comfort is the eternal life.

We need comfort. We go through all kinds of situations day by day, and we need the Lord’s eternal comfort.

The Lord’s eternal comfort is sufficient for any kind of situation and environment.

We enjoy His eternal comfort, and we also enjoy good hope in grace.

This means that we are filled with hope as we enjoy the Lord as grace, for we will enter into the Lord’s glory at His return!

As we enjoy the Lord as grace today, we are filled with hope that we will enter into His glory at the Lord’s coming! Hallelujah!

Lord Jesus, thank You for giving us eternal comfort and good hope in grace. We want to remain in the enjoyment of the Lord Jesus Christ as grace today to enjoy eternal comfort and good open. Hallelujah, God’s comfort is eternal, not transitory, and this comfort is sufficient to us! Praise the Lord, the Lord’s eternal comfort is sufficient for any kind of environment and situation. Amen, Lord, thank You for bringing us into the enjoyment of Yourself as grace. Thank You for the good hope You give us in grace.

Come Forward with Boldness to the Throne of Grace to Find Grace for Timely Help

Hebrews 4:16 is a wonderful verse encouraging us to come forward with boldness to the throne of grace so that we may find grace for timely help.

When we come to the Lord in our spirit by exercising our spirit to touch the throne of grace, we will find grace for timely help.

We need help. We need timely help all the time. The Lord knows we need help, so He has provided timely help whenever we come to the throne of grace.

We may think we don’t need that much help, for we can do this or that, and we know how to do this and that. But for us to live Christ is a matter of needing grace all the time.

It’s not a matter of spirituality or a matter of our spiritual condition; we all need help, which is grace!

The only One who did not suffer from being weak in this way was the Lord Jesus. This One is now grace to us whenever we come forward with boldness to the throne of grace.

May we not be deprived of our enjoyment of the throne of grace by our religious concept.

May we not be held back by our concepts and religiousity and therefore not enjoy the timely help given to us by grace. May we daily come to the throne of grace in our spirit.

Christ, who is sitting on the throne in heaven, is also now in our spirit, for our spirit is His habitation (Eph. 2:22).

Whenever we turn to our spirit, we touch the throne in heaven, and this throne is of grace to us.

May we come forward to the throne of grace all the time to receive and enjoy Christ as our grace for timely help.

Lord Jesus, thank You for installing the throne of grace in our spirit! Hallelujah, we can come forward with boldness to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace for timely help! Amen, Lord, we come forward to the throne of grace today. We come forward with boldness. We need Your grace. We need grace for timely help. Oh Lord, may we not be deprived of enjoying the throne of grace by our religious concepts. May we keep coming forward to the throne of grace in our spirit to receive and enjoy the Lord Jesus as grace!

Receive God’s Abounding Supply of All Grace

2 Corinthians 9:8 speaks of receiving God’s abounding supply of all grace. In our experience of grace in God’s economy, we believers in Christ receive God’s abounding supply of all grace.

God’s supply is abounding, and this supply is all grace. We need all grace.

God is able to make all grace abound unto us so that in everything, always having all sufficiency, we may abound unto every good work. Wow!

God is able to make His grace abound unto us; as we enjoy the Lord’s abounding grace, we have all sufficiency, and we abound unto every good work.

Our work for the Lord and in the Lord is not a struggle or something we must do; it is an overflow of our enjoyment of the abounding grace of the Lord! Amen!

May we cooperate with the Lord in our service to Him by enjoying His abounding grace and receiving the supply of all grace.

May we come to the Lord to enjoy Him and be filled with the enjoyment of Christ. And then, when we have enjoyed the Lord sufficiently, there will be an overflow of the divine life in us, which is our work.

As we preach the gospel, visit the new ones, and do many things for the Lord, may we realise our need for the Lord’s abounding supply of grace.

Lord Jesus, we open to You to receive God’s abounding supply of all grace! Hallelujah, God is able to make all grace abound unto us, so that in everything, always having all sufficiency, we may abound unto every good work! Amen, Lord, may Your grace abound unto us today! May we have all sufficiency by enjoying Your all grace today! May we abound unto every good work by enjoying the abounding grace of God!

We can Constantly Enjoy God’s Multiplying Grace

God’s grace is not only abounding; it is also multiplying. We are constantly enjoying God’s multiplying grace (1 Pet. 1:2b; 2 Pet. 1:2; Rev. 22:21). Grace is being multiplied to us.

The grace we enjoy is not dead or dying but living and multiplying. Grace is being multiplied to us day by day. We need all grace.

We need abounding grace. We need multiplied grace. Especially as the burdens grow greater, God multiplies His grace. Grace can really meet all of our needs.

As we pass through so many things in our Christian life, we need grace.

As we go through so many situations in our human life, our family life, our church life, our job situations, etc, the grace of the Lord Jesus can multiply to meet the need.

We simply need to remain in the enjoyment of Christ as grace day by day.

We need to open to the Lord and come to Him as we are, enjoying Him as grace.

As we enjoy His grace, His grace will meet all our needs and will bear all the burdens. Thank the Lord that His grace is multiplying and ready to meet all our needs, no matter what the situation is!

Lord Jesus, we want to constantly enjoy God’s multiplying grace! Hallelujah, God’s grace is abounding and multiplying! Amen, Lord, we open to You today. We come to You to enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. May Your grace be multiplied to us. We come to You as we go through so many situations in our human life, our family life, and our church life. Multiply Your grace. We need Your multiplying grace. We depend on Your grace!

Enjoy God’s Greater Grace by being Humble

We can enjoy God’s greater grace when we are humble (James 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:5). God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

When we are proud, when we think we know what we do and who we are, having the attitude of not needing the Lord and His grace, we cannot enjoy grace.

We can’t enjoy grace when we’re proud. Even more, when we are proud, God resists us. The word, resist, refers to the resistance in the sense of military resistance.

God stands against us when we are proud, and He cannot give us any grace. Those who are proud cannot experience grace. Pride makes us top fools.

But when we are humble, when we’re willing to be humbled under God’s mighty hand, we can enjoy grace, even greater grace.

Grace has a measure; the Lord is without measure, but our experience of Him has a measure. When we’re humble, we have an increased measure of grace, for we enjoy greater grace.

When we are proud, we are narrow-minded and we cannot enjoy any grace. Oh Lord!

Because of the fall of man, pride was injected into our being; we are all proud, but we have to recognise this for what it is. We may be able to function in a natural way, being a strong individual, but there’s no grace there.

May we seek the Lord concerning this matter so that He can deal with every element of pride that is in our being.

May we allow the Lord to humble us, and may we be humbled under the mighty hand of God.

He uses many failures to humble us. May we not compensate for our failure through a kind of self-justification and making excuses for ourselves.

May we open to the Lord in our failures and allow Him to minister to us, train us, and perfect us even in our failures, and we will enjoy greater grace.

May the Lord have mercy on us. Since pride is in us all, we may not be proud today, but Satan may cause us to be proud later, when we are more useful to the Lord.

May we allow the Lord to expose our pride and deal with it. We are Satan’s prey when we are proud. When we are proud, we are the most foolish person.

When we are humble, we are the wisest person. May we allow the Lord to have a way in our being today.

May we come to Him again and again, and may we let Him expose our pride, deal with it, and make us humble so that we may receive greater grace.

How much we need to enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ today!

Lord Jesus, we come to You to enjoy You as greater grace today. May we be willing to be made humble under the mighty hand of God. Amen, Lord, save us from our pride. Save us from being a position where You are resisting us. May we be simple brothers and sisters who enjoy the Lord as grace day by day. Oh Lord Jesus, enlarge our heart as You break through in us and expose our pride. Enlarge our capacity to enjoy You as greater grace. May we not limit You in our being. Increase the measure of grace we enjoy today. We open to You, dear Lord, and we want to enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ today!
