IF GRACE IS FREE WHY DO GOD MEASURES? (1)

If grace means unmerited favour then why does God only give it to the humble? Why not give it to the proud? Not only does God discriminate between the arrogant and humble when He gives His grace to man, but in Ephesians Paul tells us that grace is also given by God in measures. It is not sent from above like a great waterfall drenching all upon whom it falls. No; rather, it is supplied in specific measures. Some receive more; others less – but everyone gets exactly the measure that they need.

So again I ask – if grace is “unmerited favour” then why does God give it only to the humble; and, why does He then give it in proportionate measures? Let me also add two more questions to this challenge. First, if Grace is “unmerited favour” then is it possible to fall from grace? Why would God freely give me something I clearly do not deserve, and then make it possible for me to lose it if I don’t start acting like I deserve it? Do I get it for free, but then have to keep it by my behaviour? Even the fools know it doesn’t make sense!”

Before you answer these questions, what about this one. If Grace is “unmerited favour” then why does the Bible say that the grace of God was upon Jesus? Are we to believe that God’s “unmerited favour” was upon His Beloved Son? Jesus did not deserve it, but God gave it to Him anyway? Of course not! Let me answer these questions in just a little bit. For now what I want you to see is that God gives us grace in exact proportion to His will for our lives! This means that whoever God has created you to be, and whatever God has purposed for you to do – He has already supplied you with the full measure of grace you will need to successfully prevail in His purpose for your life! You cannot fail – as long as you stay humble. And nobody knew this truth better than Apostle Paul.

Do you desire grace more? Ask God for more. But why do you need more grace? The one He gave the other time, what did you do with it? Oh! Because grace is available, you just dabble into sin and cover it with grace giving to you by God to profit with all. Yes, grace is unmerited favour for definite assignments in the life of the receiver but at the same time you cannot live in sin and expect the grace of God to abound. You must know that God’s grace is for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Word Affirmation: “Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen." - Eph 6:24 (Don't just say it, mean it!)

“You cannot fail – as long as you stay humble."
