Standing In Grace #RTTBROS #Nightlight
“Let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.” - 1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)
Consider 6 Thoughts toward standing strong in God's grace.
1. The Transparency of Scripture Unlike biographies that may overlook flaws, Scripture candidly reveals the faults of its heroes, teaching us that even in the wake of spiritual victories, we must be vigilant against potential defeats.
2. The Heroes’ Downfall Noah, despite his faithfulness in building the ark, fell into drunkenness post-flood. Abram, on his journey of faith, lied in Egypt, and David, after defeating Goliath, committed grave sins. Their stories serve as cautionary tales, reminding us of the dangers of complacency and self-reliance.
3. A.W. Pink’s Insight Theologian A.W. Pink noted .“God suffers it to appear that the best of men are but men at the best. No matter how richly gifted they may be, how eminent in God’s service, how greatly honoured and used of Him, let His sustaining power be withdrawn from them for a moment and it will quickly be seen that they are ‘earthen vessels.’ No man stands any longer than he is supported by Divine grace. The most experienced saint, if left to himself, is immediately seen to be as weak as water and as timid as a mouse.” This humbling truth emphasizes our need for divine support to stand firm.
4. God’s Sustaining Grace God graciously provides us with righteousness, salvation, truth, and His word, enabling us to withstand trials and temptations, not by our strength but through His enduring support.
5. The True Way of Escape Acknowledging our frailties, we find our way of escape through Jesus Christ, relying on God’s grace to sustain our faith and growth, just as Noah, Abraham, and David did.
6. Reflection and Action Reflect on how God is shaping your thoughts and actions today. Let the biblical examples of reliance on God’s grace inspire your daily walk of faith.
For further contemplation, read 1 Corinthians 10:1–13, which reinforces the message of God’s provision and the importance of depending on His grace.
A Faith that can't be tested can't be trusted!
