Tangible Grace

1 Corinthians 13:13

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

We have chapter 13 that tells us how love acts and it is the most important aspect of this relationship with our God but many of us see love as an emotion. God is love and discovering just how much He loves us is often seen in the big things He has done for us. It can be seen as the motivation behind the actions He takes.

If a person never knew love in their life it is an overwhelming concept to discover so great a love. Recognition of just how God loves us may well be recognized in the tangible aspects of grace.

Promises are not real to us until they are activated. Tangible grace allows us to translate agape love into aspects of peace, understanding, trust, hope and sharing. Sharing the love of God in itself is a tangible grace because the transformation from sinner to saint presents itself as a witness of God’s power to make a tangible difference in our lives.

Tangible grace makes the love of God real to others because they can see it in us.

John 1:16

For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

Grace is the love of God that keeps on giving because we grow in grace the longer we follow Jesus.

2 Peter 3:18

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

To know Him is to love Him and to love Him is to love what He loves. Grace allows us to do that and is the tangible aspect of love, seen by those who need to see His love.

John 15:16

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Grace is the tangible fruit of the spirit which others can see, touch and taste.
