Brother Paul wasn't just using a figure of speech in this verse. He was referring to a very real power that was operating in his life. That power can be called favor. Could you possibly believe that you're God's favorite? Well, you are!
Even though we committed great sin against Him, He didn't turn away from us. He just kept coming. He just kept reaching for us. God is determined He is not going to lose us.
He is so willing to get involved with you, that He swore an oath in the blood of His own Son that He would personally carry out through you everything that is required of you, if you'll allow Him to be your Lord and take over your affairs.
Glory to God, that's grace!
I know I'm just scratching the surface here, but if you'll get your Bible and begin to study it, you'll get a revelation of it - a revelation that will come into your spirit, becoming very real to you and making you very bold. The longer you meditate on it, the bolder you will get.
I've had people accuse me of being on an ego trip because I talk confidentially about what God will do for me. But that's not my ego talking, it's my faith talking ! I'm not bragging on me, I'm bragging on God.
When you get a revelation of grace you'll have that same kind of boldness. You'll just reach out and take the promises of God by faith because you'll know they're yours. Romans 4:16 says, "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace, to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed." Who's the seed? Galatians 3:29 says, "If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
You are just as much an heir to the promises of God as Jesus is!
How can that be? By grace - that's how!
You want to hear great power? You want to see the miracles of God happening around you? You want to see the gospel flooding the streets? Then, reach out for a revelation of grace.. it will shake your life!
