Romans 1:7 7... Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
When you fly first class in an airplane, the cabin crew gives you first–class
treatment. They ask you, “Is everything okay with you, sir?” They
ask you what magazines you want to read. They give you a blanket
if you are cold. They give you the best kinds of food. They give you preferential
treatment compared to those traveling in economy class.
The grace of God is defined as “undeserved, unearned and unmerited favor”.
And one of the definitions for favor is “preferential treatment”! Today, God wants
you to know that you have His favor on you. He wants you to know that He gives
you preferential treatment which you do not deserve. And He wants you to depend
on and take full advantage of it in your life.
God also wants you to know that His favor in your life can be increased.
You can experience more of His favor from day to day. How? The Bible tells
us in 2 Peter 1:2 that God’s grace (or favor) is multiplied to us “in the knowledge
of God and of Jesus our Lord”. The more you behold Jesus and His love for you,
the more you believe and confess that God’s favor is on you, the more you will see
His favor work for you.
So if you are a doctor, you will find patients favoring you and you will have
more patients than you can handle. If you are a businessman, you will find people
just wanting to do business with you because they like you and feel good about
you. Then, you will have more business than you can handle and you will need to
plan for expansion!
When the favor of God shines on your church, you will find its premises too
small for the people who queue up week after week to attend the services! So
when people wonder and ask, “What is happening here?” you can tell them, “It
is the favor of God multiplied all over us!” And it is all undeserved, unearned
and unmerited!
