Key Verse: “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.” Titus 2:11
Message
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all – Amen.” This popular prayer is all some people know about Grace. As a friend of Jesus, you need to know that God is much more than repeating the creed of Grace. God wants us to know His grace and then experience it at work in our lives. Grace has rightly been described as unmerited favour. The acronym “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense” gives us a deeper understanding of what grace is all about. Grace is God’s free provision for us all that we will ever need, all that we will ever yearn for, all that He has commanded us to walk in and become- realities that we could never produce on our own, could never earn, and could never deserve. Grace offers what every human desperately needs and which God alone can provide.

This Grace is found only in Jesus Christ: it was made available to us by Jesus’ willingness to take our sins and guilt upon Himself, that we might partake of His spiritual richness. That is why the Bible confirms that we are saved through Grace. Are you saved, then you must continue in your Christian journey by daily doing exploit for Christ. Be a true witness of His saving grace. Preach the gospel to sinful children, live in righteousness and be the light to shine in the darkness of this world.

Prayer for today: Dear Jesus, I receive grace to do exploits for you.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
