If Grace is unmerited/Undeserved favor of God, how do we receive what we don't deserve or merit?

 If Grace is unmerited or undeserved or unlimited favor of God, how then can we get what is unmerited of God?


Romans 11:6 (NIV)

And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

So for Grace to be grace in itself, it wouldn't and can't be based on anything we do or that can do


Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)  

For by GRACE are you saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:


The bible says when God wanted to demonstrate his love towards us, He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ A.k.a unmerited favor (Grace) that whosoever believe the Grace, you see the word 'Believe": Grace is tapped into or taken or received from God by our believe through faith..


Let us see the words of Jesus Christ our LORD: And Jesus Christ said to them, Therefore I say to you, that no man can come to me, except it is given to him by my father (John 5:65)

So the father the Holy Spirit gives you grace by teaching or revealing to you to believe by faith so as to receive Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to be saved.


Romans 4:16

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be sure to all Abraham’s offspring.


So when God give Grace, then grace teaches us by faith and Grace is imparted.


Remember,

Ephesians 2:8

New Living Translation

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.

Knowledge is potential for power and authority.

You have heard this saying that 'Knowledge is Power" Knowledge is indeed truly power and can give you leverage and edge if you engage the wealth and riches that knowledge can give you in the 21st century where people wander to and from confused asap result of lack of knowledge and what to do. Daniel 1:17 (KJV)  As for these four children (Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego), God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. The word translated 'Knowledge"  in hebrew is 'Madda" which means ' Knowledge, science, thought, intelligence " and it is a gift that God gives. Invention and innovation in science, medicine and technology comes from this kind of knowledge. The area the spirit of God want to minister to you specifically is one of the element of knowledge that God can give to you in the form of 'Thought". What then is thought? Thought is an idea or opinion produced

The mystery of Jacob and Esau...

Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I [God] loved, but Esau have I [God] hated. Romans 9: 11-12 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12. It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. To begin with, there is an error in the body of Christ and among nonsecular people, which holds that there is such thing as fate (destiny) and that no matter how hard you try, God has destined some to prosper and some not to prosper, that God has favorites, and has destined some to succeed and others to fail. This is an error and It has its roots in traditional cultural beliefs. The truth is there is such thing as Destiny, God has destined everyone for a purpose, and you have a lead role as a partner with God to fulfill the destiny as God has good thoughts for us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11) Th

Unravel your mystery Part 1

Genesis 2:2 [KJV] And on the seventh day, God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. At the beginining of time, starting from the first day to the sixth day, God created the heaven and the earth and all that dwell therein, which includes you and me with every human being that will ever come into this earth, God had already created all; for all the works of the earth were finished before its foundation (Hebrews 4:4) But the complexity of man to God and God to man, is Man trying to get God to do something for him and move for him along a line on one hand; and God wanting to get man into a place of His rest where all things are completed, a place that's the perfect will of God and where He reveals to man His works that have been completed. Apostle Paul inspired of the Holy Ghost wrote; There are hidden wisdom in God that are MYSTERY/SECRETS, which God has set aside before there was a world for our glory [1 Corinthi
