“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
In this passage of the Bible, we are told that without faith we can’t please God. Ephesians 2:5-9 says: “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast”.
By grace, you are saved through faith. Twice this statement is made. And we have known that grace is the unmerited and the undeserved favour of God. Grace is what God did for us. And everything that we receive from God is by grace. It is not because we merited it. It is what He did through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. He gave it to us. Healing is by grace! Power is by grace! Anointing is by grace. Favour is by grace! Whatever you receive from God, you didn’t earn it. Jesus did it on your behalf.
When He did it, our part is to take it by faith. So, you see, grace is a supplier. Grace supplies and faith takes. But if you don’t have faith you cannot receive what grace has supplied.
This year, you shall be celebrated. Rejoicing will not depart from your home. Grace is at work in your life, therefore you are going to birth something great. The Lord will supernaturally connect you to strategic vision helpers
