The God of all grace!',
Back to The Pastor's Evening Visit
"The God of all grace!" 1 Peter 5:10
How sweet and refreshing are the views which Jehovah gives us of Himself! He is the God of all grace—but still He is the just and righteous God. He is gracious naturally, sovereignly, infinitely, and eternally.
He has "exceeding riches of grace!" Ephesians 2:7
Grace to quicken the dead.
Grace to pardon the guilty.
Grace to comfort the disconsolate.
Grace to strengthen the weak.
Grace to restore the wandering.
Grace to save the lost.
His grace is DISPLAYED in His dealings with His people.
FREE grace—in the conversion of Saul of Tarsus!
SEASONABLE grace—in the salvation of the dying robber on the cross!
UNEXPECTED grace—to Zaccheus, when called down from the sycamore tree!
But these are but examples or patterns, intended to show us what the God of all grace can and will do.
Let us look to our God—as infinitely gracious.
The extent,
the greatness,
the riches,
the freedom of His grace—
is displayed in the salvation of . . .
the undeserving,
the ill-deserving,
the hell-deserving!
Let this check our fears. Let it spur us on to diligence. It calls for confidence, gratitude, and consecration from us. Let us lay the head on the pillow tonight, cheered with the thought, that our God is "the God of all grace."
