Administering Grace
In many cases grace is a one way street.
Grace comes directly from God and is delivered
to us by Jesus. But we are also called to
play an active part in relaying God's grace.
We have each been given different spiritual
gifts. All gifts have been given for the
building of God's church even though some are
very different from others.
The reason that we have so many different gifts
is that God's grace takes so many different
forms. Only God can give us grace for our
salvation but He gives us grace in so many other
ways as well.
Those with gifts of help will show God's grace
by helping those in need. Those who are
encouragers will encourage. And those who
are teachers will instruct those who need the
Word of God.
We are not meant to keep God's grace all to
ourselves. In fact, it increases as we
pass it along. The more we share God's
grace, the more we will see it in our lives as
well. God's grace is meant to be shared in
whatever ways that God has enabled us. |
