What is Grace of God For?

[robert derrick]

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Need for what help?

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Help to be tempted without sinning, like Jesus as a man: to endure and overcome temptation, not be enticed by it and sin.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The thorn in all mortal flesh is temptation to sin, the feeling of our infirmity, which Jesus likewise felt, but overcame in all points, and so by grace is able to help us do the same as He.

Grace of God is needed by all men for help to endure temptation and overcome sinning in the flesh.

Those who endure with mortal flesh unto the end, will receive immortal spiritual bodies, where there is no more temptation to sin at all, and no more need of grace of God.

What is Grace of God For?
OP ^

In the big picture...
For the conundrum of manKIND...
...man who through no Choice of his own, IS naturally born IN SIN, ie naturally BORN AGAINST GOD.

For the REMEDY of manKINDS conundrum by no Choice of his own, BEING naturally born AGAINST GOD.

By, through, of Gods GRACE, a natural born man, by no Choice of his own, IS naturally born AGAINST God.

By, through, of Gods GRACE, a natural born man, by no Choice of his own, naturally born AGAINST God......
CAN individually by his own freewill choosing...CHOOSE to BE “WITH” God, by, through, of THE POWER of God.

And what EXACTLY does Gods Offering of HIS GRACE TO a man naturally born Against God....GAIN for God Himself?

Every man naturally born Against God, AND individually freely Choosing to ACCEPT Gods Grace, Become MADE WHOLE, by Gods POWER....”WHAT”?

They become, “Gods Inheritance” !

Paul spells out what grace is and does below.

Ephesians 2:5
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

Ephesians 2:8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Romans 3:24
and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Without God's power and forgiveness, we'd be in trouble.
