The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

God's Awesome Grace, Pt 8

Again, God's grace gives us confidence.  It is through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that we are saved.  We ought to understand grace giving to God.  It is God-honoring.  We ought to give God the best we can through the local church and other Christian ministries.  We ought to honor God in a sacrificial sense.  God will never forget the honor we give Him.  We ought to practice generosity in the midst of our problems.  We have freely received to help people in the midst of trails and pain and suffering.  We can learn from our trails the compassion we need to bless others.

God gives us grace in the problems of trail.  Grace giving provides us with joy.  We have been brought by God out of the darkness into His light.  We ought to give generously (2 Corinthians 8:2, 5).  We ought to give ourselves to the Lord.  What Jesus Christ gave is incomprehensible.  Jesus laid His glory aside and became man but He was fully divine. Grace giving is practicing what Jesus did at the Cross.
