Good morning church and friends

Today you can rest in assurance that God is faithful… Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

The second part of the word assures us of grace. Philippians 1:7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

Most people think that “grace” just means God’s unmerited love. But it can’t mean just that because this next verse applies it to Jesus… Luke 2:40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. “Grace” is used in many other places where it’s meaning is clearly more than unmerited favor.

No doubt it is unmerited when we don’t know Jesus intimately. Yet the fact remains that “grace” is so much richer than unmerited. It’s a benefit upon a benefit of knowing the King of kings personally.

Prayer for today… Lord thank you and may Your grace rest upon me today
