“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the
present evil age,
according to the will of our God and Father,”
Galatians 1:3-4
Paul extends grace to his reader, not from himself,
but from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
That same grace and peace should be evident in our
lives today and, as living epistles others should receive from us the abundance
of grace and peace given to us from the Father and from His Son.
Peter said to the beggar at the Gate Beautiful...“such
as I have...”
Maybe you are not rich in material wealth but if you
are a child of God you are rich in His grace and His peace and you too can
declare to others – such as I have!
Let His grace be shared freely with others.
Jesus admonished his disciples (and us by extension) –
“...freely you have received, freely give...”
We ought never to be stingy with what God has given
us!
As He has abundantly and lavishly poured into us so we
too can abundantly and lavishly share with others.
God loves a cheerful giver.
Not just when it comes to tithes and offerings.
God loves us to be cheerful in giving to others what
He has given to us.
Don’t go through life looking like – as someone once
said – you were baptized in pickle juice!
Joyfully, cheerfully extend His grace and peace to
others!
