Grace is the Wonderful Christ in what He is, gives, and Does for us for our Enjoyment

Grace is the wonderful Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God in what He is, in what He gives, and in what He does on our behalf for our enjoyment; He can be everything to us, especially when we have a lack or we’re short, for He is the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit indwelling our spirit. Hallelujah!

Many times we do not know what we need, but we come to the Lord, and His grace is supplying us.

The Triune God has reached us as grace, and He came into us to indwell us and be everything to us for our enjoyment. Our God is not stagnant; He is moving, working, operating, and circulating.

Our God is not just a life; He is a living Person, and when He came into us, a living person with many attributes and feelings came into us.

Grace is this wonderful person of the Triune God coming into us to flow in us, work in us, transmit what He is into us, and dispense all the riches of His being into us. Hallelujah!

Many times we don’t know what is going on, where we are, and what is our condition; however, as long as we turn our heart to the Lord and exercise our spirit to be one with Him, His grace supplies us.

Day by day we need to enjoy grace; we need to enjoy the circulation of the Divine Trinity within us.

The Triune God has been installed in our being at the time of our regeneration, and now He is circulating in our being to supply every part of our inner being and saturate us with Himself.

May we learn to open to Him day by day.

May we learn to fellowship with Him and open more parts of our inner being to Him so that the circulating Triune God would reach all the inner chambers of our being.

May we learn to pray in such a way that we cooperate with the inner circulating Triune God as grace so that He may saturate us with His riches, permeate us with Himself, and reign in us as grace.

In the New Testament, the first mention of grace was with Mary, who was a virgin, but was graced by the Lord; this young vessel was graced by God to be the mother of the Lord Jesus.

In her case, the Lord didn’t just come upon her as a power nor did He just visit and then leave; rather, He came to enter into her and stay in her to be the essence of her conceiving Jesus Christ, the first God-man.

Grace, according to this principle, is God coming not only to visit man but to stay in man, enter into man, be one with man, and even become the same as we are so that we may be made the same as He is. Hallelujah!

Today we want to see a further definition of grace, that is, grace being the wonderful Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God in three aspects: what He is, what He gives, and what He does on our behalf for our enjoyment.

Grace is the Wonderful Christ in what He is and in His Dispensing into us, Superabounding with Faith and Love in Christ Jesus

Grace is nothing else but the wonderful Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God in what He is, what He gives, and what He does on our behalf for our enjoyment (Gal. 6:18; Phil. 4:23; Philem. 25).

The reason Christ can be everything to us as grace is because He has been processed and consummated to be the life-giving Spirit indwelling our spirit.

Praise the Lord, Christ as the Spirit is grace with our spirit! Grace is the wonderful Christ in what He is; He is grace (see John 1:14, 17; 8:58; Rom. 5:17, 21; 1 Cor. 15:10; cf. Gal. 2:20).

The law was given through Moses, but grace came through Jesus Christ.

When Christ came, grace came. Christ is the personification of grace.

When Christ comes, grace comes. Wherever Christ is, grace is there. He is with us all the time.

Even without us realizing this, Christ is here with us as grace, always supplying us with the riches of His being.

Grace is the wonderful Christ given to us, dispensed into us, superabounding with faith and love in Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 1:14). How wonderful!

Christ as grace is dispensed into us, and we have faith and love.

On one hand, we believe into the Lord to receive Him; on the other hand, we love the Lord to enjoy Him with all His riches.

If we are short of something, this shortage is our opportunity to be supplied with more of Christ as grace to meet our timely need for our growth in Him (see Heb. 4:16; Rom. 5:17; 2 Cor. 12:7-9; 1 Pet. 5:5).

We all have needs; we have not only physical needs and psychological needs but also spiritual needs.

We are so short. We may be short of money or of food, or we may be short of patience and of love.

We may discover that, the more we grow in the human life, the less patience we have; when others speak to us or approach us, we realize how short of patience we are.

We can come forward to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace for timely help (Heb. 4:16).

Our shortages can only be filled by God’s grace.

We should not try to improve ourselves, adjust ourselves, or modify ourselves; we should simply come to the source of grace.

We need to keep coming to the wonderful Christ as grace dispensed into us so that we may be richly supplied with what He is.

Day by day we need to keep coming to the throne of grace to find grace for our timely help.

When we cannot do anything, when we’re not able to move, and when we have no strength, that is the time for us to trust in and enjoy the supply of God as grace (S. S. 8:5-6; Heb. 11:21; Gen. 47:29, 31).

Sometimes we find ourselves that we just cannot do anything, for we have no strength and we are not able to move. In such a time we need to trust in the wonderful Christ who is grace dispensed into us.

We simply need to exercise our spirit to come to the Lord and trust in Him, for grace will supply us with all we need.

When we’re young, we may be quite energetic, capable, and ambitious; we want to do many things for God.

As we grow in life and are dealt with by the Lord, in His sovereignty God will arrange situations in which we cannot do that much.

We just find ourselves to be limited and restricted.

In such situations, in restrictions and limitations, we can come to the Lord and lean on Him.

We can trust in His grace. We simply need to be one with the Lord and seek to remain in our spirit, where grace is.

The Lord will bring us to a point where we have no more confidence in ourselves; we will simply ask the Lord to hold us with His arm, for in ourselves we may give shame to the Lord’s name. Oh, Lord.

We realize that, in ourselves, we cannot do anything without the Lord; we want to be kept by Him in His heart of love and set by Him on His arm of power.

We tend to fall, deny Him, and fall away from Him; we need His mercy and grace.

His mercy reaches further than His mercy.

We just lean on Him. He brought us thus far, and He will take us on.

We just trust in the Lord’s grace.

If there is no grace of God, none of us could have faith and love in Christ.

It is truly a wonder that we can believe in Jesus and love Him whom we have never seen.

We believe in the Lord and love Him because of His superabounding grace.

This grace convinced us, subdued us, and caught us for the Lord, and this grace keeps us here.

The Lord’s grace superabounded with faith and love in Christ to the apostle Paul, causing Him to enjoy a dynamic and excellent salvation and be one of the greatest apostles (1 Tim. 1:14).

May we come to the throne of grace day by day to enjoy the wonderful Christ as grace being dispensed into our being.

When we enjoy Him as grace, when His grace abounds in us, we have faith and love in Christ Jesus.

Lord, we want to enjoy the wonderful Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God as our grace! Hallelujah, Christ can be everything to us as grace because He has been processed and consummated to be the life-giving Spirit indwelling our spirit! Praise the Lord, our wonderful Christ is grace to us in our spirit! Amen, Lord, we come forward to the throne of grace. We come to enjoy Your divine dispensing. May the wonderful Christ be dispensed into us, superabounding with faith and love in Christ Jesus! Amen, Lord, we need You. We are so short. We lack in many things. We want to take the opportunity and come to You to be supplied with more of Christ as grace to meet our timely need for our growth in Him! Supply us with grace today. Be the grace that is sufficient for us in all our needs. Oh Lord, we cannot do anything and we are not even able to move, but we come to You, we trust in Your grace, and we enjoy the supply of God as grace. Our trust is not in ourselves; only the superabounding grace can do everything in us and for us!

Grace is the Wonderful Christ doing Everything in us for our Behalf to Empower us and Support us

Grace is the wonderful Christ doing everything in us on our behalf.

Grace is Christ Himself coming to us to be everything to us for our enjoyment so that He may do everything in us on our behalf.

Grace is Christ as our burden-bearer (1 Cor. 15:10, 58; 2 Cor. 12:9; Phil. 4:6-7; Isa. 9:6).

He is the One who can bear our burdens.

We have many burdens, both in the church life and at work, at home, and in society; only the wonderful Christ as grace can bear our burdens.

As we are learning to bear responsibility at home, at work, and in the church life, we need to realize that it is not us who should bear the burden and do the work but the grace of God which is with us.

As we raise up our children and take care of so many details in our family life, we need to realize that grace is the wonderful Christ doing everything in us on our behalf, and we need to let grace bear all the burdens.

We should not bear the burden by ourselves, by our natural strength.

We may be capable and smart, but we should not trust in that. Rather, we need to trust in the Lord and in His grace.

Sometimes we feel overburdened, even overstretched; we just feel we cannot do it.

We are ready to throw in the towel and give up.

Before we do anything or make any decision, we need to come to the wonderful Christ as grace and allow Him to supply us and do everything in us and for us.

We may be pressed beyond measure, constricted, and constrained, and nothing in our environment seems to be a supply or joy to us.

In ourselves we are not sufficient, nor are we able to do it or make it.

Our sufficiency is of God. We need to come to the Lord and allow grace to be our burden bearer.

The wonderful Christ as grace is our real burden-bearer. We get help and supply, power and strength, simply by coming to Christ and being supplied by Him.

He is the One who is sufficient, and He will take us through.

We simply need to be those who wait on the eternal God by stopping ourselves with all our living, doing, and activity so that we may receive God in Christ as our life, person, and replacement (2 Cor. 12:9; Isa. 40:31; Ezek. 1:8; Psa. 17:8; 57:1; 63:7; 91:4).

When we do this, when we wait on the eternal God, we will experience the resurrection power of Christ as grace to support us, sustain us, strengthen us, cover us, and protect us.

On our side, we realize we cannot do it, and we stop our struggling and striving; we just come to the Lord to enjoy Him as grace.

On His side, when we wait on the eternal God, God will supply us with the resurrection life and power of Christ as grace to care for all our needs and protect us. Amen!

We need to be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus (2 Tim. 2:1) to be good stewards of the varied grace of God (1 Pet. 4:10; Eph. 3:2; 4:29) as teachers (2 Tim. 2:2), soldiers (vv. 3-4), contenders (v. 5), farmers (v. 6), workmen (v. 15), and vessels unto honor (v. 21).

When the grace which is in Christ Jesus empowers us, we will be the stewards of grace and we will minister grace to others.

Grace will do this in us.

Grace will perfect us, strengthen us, and establish us to make us teachers, soldiers, contenders, farmers, workmen, and vessels unto honor.

We cannot do this but grace can. We cannot be it but grace can.

We need to simply come to the wonderful Christ and enjoy Him as grace doing everything in us and for us day by day.

Lord Jesus, we want to enjoy You as our burden-bearer. We bring all our burdens to You. We acknowledge that we cannot bear the burdens. We come to You, Lord, and we take You as our grace. Hallelujah, the wonderful Christ is in us to be our grace, and He is doing everything in us on our behalf. We love You, Lord, and we open to You. We take You as grace right now. We want to wait on the eternal God by stopping ourselves with our doing, our living, and our activity, so that we may receive God in Christ as our life, our person, and our replacement. Come in and do everything in us and for us. Grant us to experience the resurrection power of Christ as grace! Amen, Lord, only You can support, sustain, strengthen, cover, and support us as grace. We just want to enjoy the wonderful Christ as grace in all our situations! May we be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus so that we may be good stewards of the varied grace of God today! Amen, Lord, may Your grace become everything to us. May we trust in Your grace, receive Your grace, and enjoy God in Christ as grace in our daily living until grace becomes everything to us and in us!
