From Grace to Grace

To live from faith to faith (Romans 1:17) is also to live from grace to grace. Everything that’s holy originates with God. By God’s grace, we are gifted the desire and ability to participate with him in his work (Luke 2:49). Then by faith, we take hold of that grace—to be good stewards of it (1 Peter 4:10). From grace + faith to grace + faith.

Aware of God’s grace, we see that we have nothing to boast about (Ephesians 2:8-9). And receiving God’s grace by faith, our works become participation; they are not left undone (James 2:17), nor are they done in vain (Psalm 127:1).
