Grace, Grace!!
"6 Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. 7 ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”
8 Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. 10 For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—these are the eyes of the Lord which range to and fro throughout the earth." Zechariah 4:6-10
Four kinds of Grace
1) Saving Grace: You don't get good to get God, you get God to get good
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" Ephesians 2:8
2) Justifying Grace: Just as if I had never sinned in the eyes of God
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," Romans 5:1
3) Teaching Grace
"It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,upright and godly lives in this present age," Titus 2:12
4) Enabling Grace : God said my grace is sufficient
"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
