"God’s Favor”
What does it mean to have God’s favor? The “favor of God” can be described as a divine kindness, or an act of true compassion on the part of God Himself toward needy and undeserving human recipients. Often in Scripture this act of God toward unworthy men or women is referred to as God’s “grace” – which means “the unmerited favor of God.”
God’s grace and God’s mercy. Thank God every day for that. God’s grace has blessed me with things that I don’t deserve. For example, my salvation, which has given me Eternal Life. It is no works that I have done, but God’s grace. In Ephesians it says it well.
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
It is also by God’s grace that we have the ability to live for the Lord during the sometimes-difficult paths He has for us in this life.
God’s mercy. Thank God every day I don’t get what I deserve. In Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. I deserved death, because I am a sinner. Thank God for his mercy and grace, I can have God’s unmerited favor. The price of my sins was paid for by Christ on the cross, and I can look forward to Eternal life.
Titus 3:5
he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
Praise God for his favor!!!!!!
