Let us
have grace.
Wherefore we
receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved,
let us
have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably
with
reverence and godly fear: Hebrews 12:28
We daily need grace to
sustain us in troubles;
to subdue our corruptions;
to sanctify our tempers;
to preserve us in
temptation;
to quicken our languid affections;
to enlarge our experience;
to render a useful to
others;
to enable us to endure to
the end;
and to meet death with
confidence and joy.
Our God is the God of all
grace.
Jesus is full of grace, and
He giveth more grace.
He has promised it, “He
will give grace.”
He has invited us to come
and receive it, “Come boldly to the throne of grace, that ye may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in the time of need.”
His grace is sufficient for
us; but without grace we are dull, lifeless, and sure to fall.
Oh let us look to Jesus for
grace to strengthen us, sanctify us, and make us useful!
Let us never attempted any thing
in our own strength; but let us receive from the Lord, that we may live to the
Lord; and ascribe all that we do that is good, to the grace of God which is in
us.
Grace is always free.
It is free for us, for us
this morning, and our God bids us come and receive.
Come then boldly to the
throne of grace, and you shall obtain mercy, and find grace to help you this
day.
On me, my
King, exert thy power,
Make old
things pass away;
Transform
and draw my soul to Thee,
Still nearer
every day.
James Smith
