My Grace Is Sufficient for You: A Study on 2 Corinthians 12Bài mẫu

# God’s Sufficient Grace And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9) “My grace is sufficient.” How did God’s grace make the difference? How did it meet Paul’s need at this point? Grace could meet Paul’s need because it expresses God’s acceptance and pleasure in us . When we receive His grace, we enjoy our status of favor and approval in God’s eyes. Grace means that God likes us, that He is favorably disposed towards us, and that we have His approval and the promise of His care. Grace could meet Paul’s need because it was available all the time . When we sin or fail, it does not put us outside the reach of God’s grace. Since grace is given freely to us in Jesus, it can’t be taken away later if we stumble or fall. When we come to God by faith through the blood of Jesus, His grace is ever ready to meet us and minister to our insufficiencies. Grace could meet Paul’s need because it was the very strength of God . So much of the power of this world is expressed in things that can only bring harm and destruction, but God loves to show His power through His goodness and grace. Sometimes we associate goodness with cowardice or timidity. When we do, we take a worldly perspective about power and strength, and we deny God’s truth about the strength of grace and love. Grace is not weak or wimpy. Instead, it is the power of God to fulfill what we lack. #### Prompt: Take a few moments to think about the truth of God’s grace, as described above and in the following Bible verses.
