TO THE BIBLE:
2 Peter 3:18
“but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.”
LET’S TALK
Have you ever met someone who just seems to have it all together? Not in a fake, try-hard way, but they just have this “it” factor. Teachers like them, other kids want to be around them, and opportunities just seem to fall into their lap. They walk into a room, and the whole atmosphere shifts. You might think it’s luck or confidence, but the Bible has a name for it: it’s called grace.
The word “grace” is from the Greek “Charis” and it refers to the divine influence in a human heart, which reflects on his outside, producing favour, beauty, goodwill, loveliness and ability. In other words, when “grace” is working in your life, there’s just something about you that causes favour and glory to abound in your life.
For example, when the Lord Jesus was a child, the Bible says he ”…grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him” (Luke 2:40). It made Him, even as a child, to have favour with God and man (Luke 2:52). Think about that—even as a kid, Jesus had this grace on His life that made people of all ages like Him and respect Him. In the Book of Acts, Barnabas went to visit certain brethren and ”…when he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all…” (Acts 11:23). What was it that Barnabas saw? It wasn’t a light beaming out of their heads–He saw the beauty of God; he saw that things were working out excellently in the lives of these brethren.
Grace is the power of promotion; it is the thing that causes your life to move from one level to another, and that’s why the Bible says we must grow in it. The good news is that every child of God has received grace in abundance (Romans 5:17), but the degree to which you let it reflect is up to you. The more you fill your heart with God’s Word and have the Holy Spirit work in your life, the greater that grace will shine forth on the outside.
You can and should increase in that outward reflection of the glory of God in your spirit, to such an extent that others would take notice. They might not be able to explain it, but they will not be able to deny that there’s just something excellent and beautiful about you.
GO DEEPER
2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Ephesians 4:7
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
PRAY
I’m growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The beauty of God in my spirit is bursting forth on the outside in an undeniable fashion. Excellence, glory, virtue and success are the hallmarks of my life, because of this grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
