I am looking at my computer screen and clicking on “Connect To”. Next I am clicking on “Show all connnections”. Under “Network Tasks” I click on “Create a new connection”.
You must be bored with my clicking by now! But if you keep on clicking, you have eventual access to the Internet.
But what I really want to talk to you about is how I accessed the GRACE OF GOD, or rather how the Lord Jesus Christ accessed the grace of God for me. Let us read two verses from the Bible, from the Authorized Version:
Ephesians 2:18 “For through Him (Christ) we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”
Ephesians 3:12 “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him.”
We have access first to salvation, then to prayer.
I have learned that the moment a sinner accepts the Lord Jesus Christ or rather the Lord Jesus Christ accepts a sinner, 38 things are happening.
There are things in relation to God the Father, in relation to God the Son, in ralation to God the Holy Spirit, in relation to sin, in relation to satan and in relation to others; altogether 38 things.
Here are some of them: We are adopted as a son into the famiy of God. We are elected. We are accepted in the Beloved. We are baptized into the body of Christ…..
Thirtyeight things are happening to us the moment we accept the Lord as Saviour. 38 things happened to me also when I accepted the Lord as my Saviour, but when that happened I was only conscious of peace.
My connection with the Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world, took place on the 2nd of September. I was 18 years of age at that time!
Access to the grace of God is only one of the thirtyeight things. Access to the grace of God goes under the category In relation to God the Father.
What is grace?
Grace is that God loves us with a love we don’t deserve.
Grace is a quality of God. We only need to exercise faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the grace of God leads God to pour blessings upon us. And not only that. The grace of God leads God to provide SALVATION from sin.
Believe me, I am very thankful for my ACCESS to the internet, because of my access to the internet, I can tell you that you can have access to SALVATION!
AND REMEMBER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!
