He Gives More Grace

"Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? But He gives more grace..." (James 4:5-6)
Scripture Focus: James 4:4-10

Christians build their faith and life on the glorious, free, transforming grace of God. We are saved by grace. The Father willingly put our sin on His Son and gives us His righteousness. This is grace.

James reminds us that we are not only saved by grace, we are daily sustained by grace, renewed for each day's journey. The Spirit of God "yearns jealously" to accomplish the project He was sent to undertake. The Spirit's ministry is to conform us to the image of Jesus Christ. He begins that work on the day we are saved by taking out our heart of stone and giving us a heart of flesh. He continues that work by daily convincing us of our sin, encouraging our faith, teaching us the Word, renewing our joy, and so much more.

This ministry of the Spirit is the ministry of "more grace!" Doesn't it bless your heart to know that there is no limit or boundary to God's grace? He calls us to give our lives to Him without reservation and gives us all the grace we need to accomplish the task!

Insight: God's grace is the gift that keeps on giving!
