For those who seek Him, God gives supernatural GRACE to bridge the gap between unbelief and belief. Grace for salvation is the power of God to believe and be born again, or grace to secure our legal position in Christ. God also gives grace so we can live the Christian life in a God-honoring way―our living condition. Grace is the power to love and obey God. It is the personal presence of Christ living His life through us. Grace empowers us to be all that God called us to be and to do all that He called us to do. Grace, therefore, is God’s power to transform our life.
Two Aspects of Grace
The two aspects of grace provided for us are for our:
Legal position: The free gift of right standing with God through what Jesus provides at salvation
Living condition:We are saved to live a new way of life. The only way we can live effectively as a representative of Jesus Christ on earth is by grace.
