Not only are we saved by grace—“by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”—but we must also live and love and labor by God’s enabling grace. Only thus can we “serve God acceptably.” And God’s grace has been provided for every possible circumstance and situation which might enter into our lives. “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” Paul testified that “by the grace of God I am what I am. … I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” So God’s Word encourages us to “be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” Helpless and needy ourselves, having nothing to offer God except ourselves as living sacrifices, we hear Him saying to us that “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Let us, therefore, “be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
Grace to labor, grace to suffer,
Grace to break the chains of sin,
Grace abundant, all sufficient,
Giving peace and joy within.

We who know the Lord are called upon to show forth His excellencies, for “ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” We are to be “always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” Our lips then should be open to tell forth His praises. “My tongue shall speak of Thy word.” With Asaph the psalmist, let us determine that “I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember Thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all Thy work, and talk of Thy doings,” for “it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High: to show forth Thy loving-kindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night.” “I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
Praise to our Lord and Savior,
Praise for His boundless grace,
Praise for His merciful kindness,
Until we look on His face.

Every true believer in Christ as Savior is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and “if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.” This indwelling presence of the Third Member of the Godhead marks us off as belonging to God by redemption. “After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” So “ye are not your own … for ye are bought with a price.” Therefore, believers “should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.” Henceforth “we also should walk in newness of life.” “Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things He hath done for you.” So, “grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption,” but rather “be filled with the Spirit,” “building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,” never forgetting that the Holy Spirit is in us to glorify Christ, for our Lord said that “when the Comforter is come … He shall testify of Me.”
The Spirit of God dwells in me,
Ready to help me and make me free
From sin’s power, its loss and shame,
Willing to help me honor Christ’s name.

The imminency of the Lord’s coming, the fact that He may come at any moment, is seen in the fact that the Scriptures exhort us to be constantly looking and waiting for Him. We are told to be “looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.” We are not told to be looking for Antichrist, for the revived Roman Empire, for spectacular signs, or even for worldwide evangelization, but for the Lord Himself. “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Other events will occur in due time, but our expectation is the fulfillment of His promise that “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” He says, “Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” What encouragement for us as we “wait for His Son from heaven.”
The Lord is coming to take us home,
Redeemed and made clean by His own blood,
To be forever with Him there,
As He promised in His holy Word.

The closer the Christian walks in fellowship with the Lord, the more conscious he is of his own sinfulness and sins. What great joy it brings, then, to have God’s Word that “I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.” And, blessed be God, this perfect forgiveness is secured by the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, “in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Not by effort, not by imagined righteousness, not by ordinances, not by church membership, but “according to the riches of His grace” we have “forgiveness of sins.” “I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.” And though we, as Christians, need to deal constantly with the matter of sin in our lives, yet sin in the condemning sense is gone forever for the believer in Christ. “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin,” because Christ “His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree,” as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
My sins gone and forgiven,
Though oft in my mind they appear;
Yes, blotted out and gone forever
By the blood of God’s Son most dear.

It is indeed fitting for the believer to give praise to his Redeemer. Not only is He due praise for saving us, but for all that we are and have. “What hast thou that thou didst not receive? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” He “giveth us richly all things to enjoy,” so “blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.” No wonder that God’s Word tells us to be “giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name,” for the Lord says that “whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.” “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.” “Let my mouth be filled with Thy praise and with Thy honor all the day.”
Should I give praise to Him
Who gave Himself for me?
Should I remember mercies
Poured out so full and free?

Why does God have to remind us over and over to be faithful in prayer? It would seem that we who have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ would count it one of our greatest privileges to “come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Yet we must be reminded of “continuing instant in prayer,” and to “pray without ceasing.” Not only in times of crisis and great need, but “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,” and “in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Let us constantly remember that “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Therefore, “I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.” “In the day when I cried Thou answeredst me.”
Bowing before Him in love,
Trusting His wisdom divine,
Relying upon Him in trouble,
His own perfect peace is mine.

What is the believer to do in a day of lawlessness and apostasy such as we face today, when “judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off,” when “truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter”? It is a day when “evil men and seducers … wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived,” and when “he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey.” Our Lord warned that “because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Can we believers live for the glory of Christ in such days? Yes, His grace is sufficient, and more than sufficient. Recall that before the flood, when “the wickedness of man was great in the earth,” when “every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually,” in that dark day, “Noah walked with God,” and Enoch “had this testimony, that he pleased God.” Let us, as they did, take grace from God, “and be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.”
Walk with God, when all around
Darkness and evil prevail?
Yes, strong in grace, looking to Him,
The Christ, who will never fail.

The world and nominal Christendom has a saying that God helps those who help themselves. But there are many times when we cannot help ourselves, when “the journey is too great for thee.” But in such times, “He knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness,” and how blessed and encouraging it is to know that “He shall deliver … him that hath no helper.” So, when “trouble is near [and] there is none to help,” and when we cry to Him to “give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man,” we can be sure that though “I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me,” and “He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper,” for “He forgetteth not the cry of the humble,” and “the poor committeth himself to Thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.” “He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.” “The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy.”
Weary, sad and discouraged,
With no help to be found in man,
We cry to Him who loves us,
And “upholdeth … with His hand.”
Psalm 72:12 ~ 1 Kings 19:7 ~ Deuteronomy 2:7 ~ Psalm 22:11 ~ Psalm 60:11 ~ Psalm 40:17 ~ Psalm 9:12 ~ Psalm 10:14 ~ Psalm 72:4 ~ Psalm 147:11

God desires for His children that “the peace of God rule in your hearts.” The word “rule” means to “act as umpire” or “arbitrate,” that is, to make the decisions: to direct and control our lives. Most of us know that any decisions made when our hearts were not filled with God’s peace have been wrong and hurtful decisions. We continually need in our hearts “the peace of God.” “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” For “the Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” “Lord, Thou wilt ordain peace for us: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.” “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom. … Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.” “Now the peace of God be with you all. Amen.”
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on Thee”;
In all the ins and outs of life,
Peace shall his portion be.
