Grace - The activity of God's Spirit

Grace is the divine energy of God’s creative and saving acts. Creation was God’s first activity of grace. It was upon the dark deep emptiness of the abyss that the activity of The Holy Spirit moved and a Universe was created. The Father desired a universe for his children and Jesus spoke light into this desire while Holy Spirit energized it into existence. God then began his ongoing creative and saving mission for humanity. The mission was grace.
God gave grace to Noah (Genesis 6:8) as the great saving act of God for humanity to escape the destruction of the great flood. God gave grace to Moses (Exodus 33:13 – his presence) for the salvation of his People Israel. His grace was in the crossing of the Red Sea and his creative grace was his provision for them in the wilderness and the saving acts of forgiveness of sins through the sacrifices, and the inspired words of the prophets, among many many other acts of grace..
When Jesus was born from above a new dimension of grace began to flow from The Father, through Jesus Christ, and the activity of The Holy Spirit. When Jesus died and rose again, his grace was activated within us by The Holy Spirit, to accessed by faith in what Jesus had done for us, and now to operate through us, in partnership with God. John 1:17… grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
2Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
We are cautioned by Paul not to ignore or dismiss this gift of life that lives out the partnership of the life of Jesus and Holy Spirit within us.
Paul said I do not neutralize the grace of God; for if living in harmony with God comes through our own performance, then Christ died without a cause (Galatians 2:20).
2Corinthians 5:17 …behold, all things have become new. … All things are of God
All things are to be seen in the light of how God’s saving grace reorders them. How we see God’s activity of creative and saving grace is how we will manage life!
Why did God create and save through Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit?
When we understand the mission of the love of the Father and the grace of his Son Jesus Christ, and the communion of The Holy Spirit in making us one with them, we can dwell in another kind of knowing and growing (Not as robots).
The Holy Spirit lifts us up out of ourselves as it were, and into God, allowing us to know and love and enjoy God in a personal way, because we are known and loved by him in a personal way.
Everything that happens to us becomes the instrument of opportunity to act in partnership with God’s acts of creating and saving grace. Where you are the saving grace of God can happen - so be present and aware and accept the interaction of the moment. The force field is there and we activate and release it wherever we are.
