Grace is available

Something a little different today. Let's take some time to meditate on God's grace. Below are some scriptures from Romans. My prayer is that as you read these scriptures and personalise them by putting your name in the blanks, greater revelation of God's grace for you will come. 

____________ [is] justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favour and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment. Romans 3:25,26 AMP

Through Him also ___________ has access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favour) in which ____________ [firmly and safely] stand. And let __________  rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. Romans 5:2 AMP

For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one man, much more surely will _________ who receives [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favour) and the free gift of righteousness [putting __________ into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Romans 5:17 AMP

For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over ___________, since now ____________ is not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God's favour and mercy]. Romans 6:14 AMP

Then note and appreciate the gracious kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's gracious kindness to __________ - provided _________  continue in His grace and abide in His kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off (pruned away). Romans 11:22 AMP

For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call]. Romans 11:29 AMP

Thank you God for your grace. Please help us to get greater revelation of the grace in, on and over our lives. Thank you Jesus for giving us a way to have right-standing with our Father in heaven and receive grace. Thank you Holy Spirit for helping us to learn how to live in grace and love graciously. In Jesus Name, Amen.

The grace of Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with _____. Amen (so be it). Romans 16:24 AMP
