Grace
Jesus is Grace
1 Corinthians 16:23
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
NIV
The grace of God’s character is most seen, however, in the Person of Jesus Christ.
Psalm 78:38
38 But He, being full of compassion, forgave their
iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger
away, And did not stir up all His wrath; NKJV
John 1:14-18
14 And the Word became 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. 15 John bore witness of Him and cried out,
saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me
is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ” 16 And of
His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law
was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in
the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. NKJV
The author of Hebrews tell us:
Hebrews 1:3
3 who being the brightness of His glory and the
express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of
His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right
hand of the Majesty on high, NKJV
If Jesus is an exact image of the Father, then when Scriptures tell us Jesus is grace, we must understand the Father is grace. God is grace. Paul tell us that “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men” (Titus 2:11). Jesus came to save that which was lost Luke 19:10
for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. NKJV
