FAITH CAPSULE: The grace and mercy of God is the evidence of His goodness.

Isaiah 26, Revelation 22

With an acronym, is the description of the GRACE of God: G is for God; R is for Riches; A is for At; C is for Christ; E is for Expense. 
Indeed, and in truth, God Riches is At Christ Expense. 
The Grace of God is an unmerited favor in place for all. 
The grace of God is the gift, the love for all by God.
The Grace of God for all is divine assistance of God for restoration (rebirth) or sanctification.
Dictionary describes the theological meaning of the grace of God as: “The unmerited love and favor of God toward human beings; divine influence acting in a person to make the person pure, morally strong; the condition of a person brought to God’s favor through this influence; a special virtue, gift, or help given to a person by God.”
The description of the grace of God and the mercy of God is often mixed up only because of similar expressions of favor and love of God.
However, grace and mercy possess a clear distinction. 
The grace of God: When a man experiences the grace of God, such shall receive favor which man does not deserve. 
The mercy of God: When a man experiences the mercy of God, such shall not get the punishment that man does not deserve. 
For example, Lot experienced mercy that excused him from the punishment of destruction. 
Genesis 19:19 records, “Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life…” 
Grace is what God has shown to all to obtain.
Isaiah 26:10 buttresses, “Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.” 
Jesus, the grace of God, is shown to all to obtain, but all hardly behold the grace of God. 
Ezra 9:8 also states, “And now for a little while grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage.” 
Jesus is the gift of God, the grace of God for all to see and receive Him.
Do you believe Him to receive Him?
Jesus is the GRACE of God!
Is He (Grace of God) with you?
Regardless of this wicked world, the grace of God is in place for all to seek and find Him.
Noah is an example of one that found grace from God.
Genesis 6:7-8 records, “So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”
You can become the Noah of your time.

Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live life for the glory of God.
