God in His word has written to us that He has given all things that pertain to life and godliness, which is from His divine power that every born again Son and Daughter receive (ref.: 2 Peter 1:3), which was released based on from the resurrection of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ unto to us as inheritance (ref.: Ephesians 1:18).
But there are times when we ask ourselves if God released His grace to us, especially when faced with trials.
Ephesians 3:20-21 says, "²⁰ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
What this means is that grace was released to us, but it is left to us to receive it and use it. And by using it, it means to believe that we have it and to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
But many times it is possible that we understand all these and still do not see any result. The reason is because we haven't focused on His love for us.
When we remember that we were naturally sentenced to death because of the nature we were born with, but Jesus in exchange took our nature and gave us His righteousness, and was sentenced to death in our place, and when He was raised, offered us His brand new life of a new creation as our inheritance, it can only be an act of love.
Jesus didn't just take our infirmities and other works of the flesh upon Himself alone, He became sin itself just because He wanted us to live.
It is when we focus on His love for us that we can understand His grace given to us and use it properly in the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We became dead to sin, but alive in Christ because He took our life and gave us His (ref.: Romans 6:11). This is why we should focus on Him and not us because we ceased to exist and have embraced the perfect life of Christ Jesus. It's all about Him and not us.
By focusing on Him and His love, we have boldness, trust, and confidence in Him. We are to focus on His love for us and nothing else. This also enables us to listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit and carry out His purpose for our lives.
Let us not lose focus on the truth in times of trials, and we will His victorious life in and out of any trials and temptation IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
