When your favorite team has won their game, are you joyful? Many people are enthusiastic and elated when their team wins.

Are we as filled with joy when we realize that God’s grace is available? If not, why not? When we come into a full realization of what God has done for us, can we say with the Psalmist: Psalm66:1-2?

(NASB) Psalm 66:1-2

“SHOUT JOYFULLY to God, all the earth;

2 Sing the glory of His name;

Make His praise glorious.”

Joy in the reality of being a recipient of God’s grace – He is the One Who lavishes His unmerited favor, His divine help, His growing us in grace. His grace is given to us to justify us before Him. Rejoice – God’s grace makes it possible to stand before Him without spot or wrinkle, in Christ Jesus!

(NASB) Romans 5:1

“THEREFORE, HAVING been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,”

Therefore, [for this reason belief in God Who raised Jesus from the dead] (See Romans 4:25). Followers of Christ believe that Jesus was delivered over to death for our sins and that He was raised to life for our justification. Jesus has made it possible for anyone to have peace with God through Jesus Christ. Without peace with God there is war within and attacks coming from many sides.

(NASB) Romans 5:2

“through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.”

It can only be through the Lord Jesus that anyone gains access by faith into the grace of God. His grace that’s given is unmerited; you and I are unable to earn it. We can receive God’s grace and stand firm in that knowledge.

Anyone who is justified by faith in God’s grace

is to Rejoice with hope in the greatness of God’s glory.

Rejoicing in God and His grace

does not depend on our circumstances.

Rejoice and depend on God’s grace in your circumstances.!

(NASB) Psalm 66:1-2

“SHOUT JOYFULLY to God, all the earth;

2 Sing the glory of His name;

Make His praise glorious.”

How shall you now pray?
