Full of Faith, Grace and Power

God is full of faith, grace and power. We as His children benefit from every one of these attributes.

He is full of faith and faithful to His Word which He has given us. He sent Jesus, His Word, to us so that we could be full of faith. Hebrews 12:2 tells us that Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith. He gives us the thrust to have faith; He starts us on the pathway. He doesn’t leave us without direction and guidance. Once we are on the pathway of faith, He stays with us to keep us in faith. He is the beginning of our faith, and He is the ending of our faith.

God is full of grace. He is full to overflowing with the desire to favor us with His love. His grace is His love extended to us when we don’t desire any of it. He is so full, He has to find people on whom He can release His grace. When Jesus came into the world, we are told in John 1:14 that He was full of grace and truth. The Lord told Paul that His grace was sufficient for Paul. In other words, He was saying to Paul and to us as well that His love abounds toward us to solve any situation. According to 1 Corinthians 13, God’s Agape Love never fails.

God is all-powerful; He is full of power. His power is greater than any other power in all the realms in heaven, on earth, and beneath the earth. His power is the outflowing of His Love. The outpouring of God’s Love is the outpouring of His power to reconcile us to Himself, to heal us, to prosper us, to give us success and to bring us to a place of victory and stability. There is no greater power than God. Satan would like to have that power and to imitate it, but he cannot. He attempts to convince people that he is powerful, but he has been stripped of his power. He doesn’t have it anymore. Jesus stripped him of his authority and power. Jesus told us that all power, all authority has been given to Him in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18). And guess who He shares that power with? He has given us access to His power. Greater is He (with His power) Who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

As God’s children, through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we have access to the faith, the grace and the power of God. He is in us and we are in Him. His faith, grace and power is in us to do the work he has called us to do and to live a joyful, abundant, successful life while we are here on this earth.
