Grace is about God and His nature. It is not a concept, neither is it something that can be understood through our mental faculties. The true revelation of grace comes by a relationship with the Father through Jesus. Grace is an experience of the goodness of God. It is something we are living in, as new creation. Grace is the life of the New Man.
If you’re born-again, you are IN eternal life. You’re not going to ‘get’ eternal life, or ‘enter’ into it. You are IN Him. He is Life. You cannot have any more life than you do now. You are One with Him. He is One with you. Life is not a journey of ‘surviving’ this world or going through the motions. It’s not about doing your thing until one fine day you ‘graduate’ to heaven. Life is about experiencing the heart of the Father and seeing Him for all that He is. It’s about experiencing Him. It’s about ‘knowing’ Him in a living, personal relationship as a son. It’s about knowing Jesus the perfect Son and Lord.
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. — John 17:3; You would have read this scripture in the Bible and easily have sailed past it without realising how one word could change its entire meaning. The addition of the word ‘about’ to this verse, changes the very relationship it talks about — ‘knowing You’ misconstrued as ‘knowing about You.’ When christians read this scripture, they almost inevitably, unknowingly and mistakably conclude that it’s talking about gathering information about God — or studying the Bible.
Most Christians unconsciously live a life of ‘spiritual separation anxiety,’ if such a condition exists. It’s like calling out to a distant God, hoping He hears you. This is religion all over again — a one-sided relationship, in the ‘born-again culture.’ You know God is out there, but you never really hear Him. You keep wondering how long is it going to take before God actually says or does something.
He has created you out of a part of Himself. You’re made of Him. He is one with you. You are living your life as a part of Him with capabilities of making your own decisions and living your own lifestyle — all from within Him. That’s the beauty of creation.
You always have a free choice to do whatever you want — a free will, if you will. However, the Father’s plan is altogether different. I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that His plans were, are and will always be absolutely perfect! He put everything in His Son. He created everything for Jesus. He designed and created everything to be held together in Jesus. That includes you, me and all of creation.
