The Favor of God Will Change Your Life –Part 3
Dr RJ Sing
“For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God.”
You should always see yourself wrapped in God’s favor 24 hours a day. Every morning when you get up, throw off the covers and jump out of bed saying, “I am the righteousness of the Lord, Your favor surrounds me like a shield.”
Now you may be thinking, I know a lot of believers who don’t enjoy the kind of favor you’re talking about. Their lives are full of tragedy and disappointment. Why doesn’t God surround them with favor? God does actually surround them with favor. They just don’t know it, so they can’t take advantage of what He has given them.
God’s grace is multiplied to us through knowledge. The first thing you have to do before you can receive the benefits of God’s favor is to know they are yours and then you have to receive them by faith. 2 Peter 1:2 AMP “May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” God’s favor provides every possible Blessing and goodness He has to give, starting with being saved.
