Grace

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.Ephesians 4:7

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:2 Corinthians 9:8

GRACE :~ Divine influence upon the heart. GIFT OF CHRIST :~ Christ's death on the Cross, restoring our relationship with God when we accept it.EVERY GOOD WORK :~ Righteousness, obedience of the law, preaching the Gospel to all men. We have been given as much grace as Christ gave us forgiveness of sins.  What is grace for?  It is the power of the Holy Ghost working in our hearts to achieve every good work.  We are incapable of being righteous, of doing good works, of making the right decisions, of having any wisdom at all to know what those right decisions are.  This is our sin nature.  God gives is His grace to us when we accept Christ's gift of salvation.  He divinely influences our hearts to give us all that we lack so that we may achieve all of this.  This is the gift of the Holy Ghost, of being able to abide with Christ.
