From Samuel Bagster's Daily Light for the Daily Path Devotional [c. 1875]
...with application and prayer responses by me...
The God of all grace. I Pet. 5:10
Lord, I need thy grace that I may be gracious to all around me
I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious. Exo. 33:19
O God of all grace! may I be the blessed beneficiary of the necessary grace!
He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. Job 33:24
Grace...grace that delivers...has pity, has mercy; thot: this grace goes unappreciated to those who do not recognize their woeful condition
Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. Rom. 3:24, 25
freely by his grace...no strings attached! not a list of 'works' we must accomplish, just pure undriven grace
Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:17
Ah! by this Special Person Who loved us from the foundation of the world!
By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8
Gifts are free...grace is free...it is a gift from God
Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I Tim. 1:2
Obtain grace and get not one but TWO, that's right, TWO bonuses! mercy and peace!
Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Eph. 4:7
Given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ...and what measure He sustains! hence we can say, 'I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me'
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. I Pet. 4:10
Minister the same to another in grateful unexpected portions!
He giveth more grace. James 4:6
God: 'My grace: try to use it up! I dare you! I'll give you more!'
Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. II Pet. 3:18
grow in it...let it shape you and stretch you and use you like 'silly putty'. then you will be led to give him great glory both now and for ever
