2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Prevenient grace is God’s divine intervention in our lives before we make a decision to accept Jesus Christ.

Justifying grace is God’s declaration of our right standing before Him not because of what we have done, but by our faith in Christ.

Sanctifying grace places us in a protective state, separated from the effects and influences of sin.

Which kind of grace is work grace?

Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

We never hear about work grace do we? It is however obvious from these passages that grace has an important part in supply and demand. I say this because of it being linked to all sufficiency for good works in the first verse quoted here.

The specific grace is tied to your personal ministry in the second scripture quoted here. It is imparted via the gifts granted to serve and the impetus is the power of the Holy Spirit. The equivalent thought would be to see these as two types of energy, potential (at rest) and kinetic (in motion).

Another expression could be spiritual in context and application. That would be grace imputed (at rest) and grace imparted (in motion). This grace in us has already done its work in us and remains at rest until it is released, imparted, to be effectual in the lives of others.

That transfer of energy will accomplish whatever type of grace for which the recipient of the grace needs in accordance with God’s will. Grace is what grace does and is not limited in power according to our labels and understanding.

Romans 14:23b for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

People do not like to be called out on their sins. I take the most drastic of stances on sin and I see it here in this one verse. Anything that I do apart from obedience of faith is sin. Everything.

We are instructed to walk by faith. Is everything I do in response to what God has commanded me to do? Obviously not. There will be those who want to ask me how I can live with myself knowing that. My only response can be, how can I ignore what I am, a sinner saved by grace.

I am not comfortable with sin. I am not uncomfortable. My comfort comes from the Lord.

John 14:17-18 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

I am conscious of my sin. I do not have a guilty conscience.

1 Timothy 1:5-6 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

I have no righteousness of my own.

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

I have sin. The truth resides in me.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

How do I live with myself? I don’t.

Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
