OUR GOD IS A GOD OF GRACE (PART 1)


The dictionary defined the word GRACE as kind behaviour or goodwill or favour. The bible defined GRACE as unmerited favour from GOD. Going through the bible, we will discover that GOD carried out this particular act on a lot of occasions. Traces of these acts can be discovered in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Starting from the book of Genesis 1:26-30, the first time GOD granted favour to human kind was when HE made man in his likeness and gave man the power to rule over all animals. GOD also gave man the blessing to be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it. HE also gave man every green plant as food. Genesis 2:18 showed us that GOD was gracious to Adam when HE decided to give him companion. Before the creation of the animals and Eve, Adam all by himself was righteous before GOD for he did as he was told and did not do anything to upset GOD. Psalms 5:12 shows us how GOD appreciates people that are righteous. It is stated here that “GOD blesses the righteous he surrounds them with his favour as with a shield”. This explains why GOD will go to any lent to make Adam happy. He recognised the need for Adam to have a companion. Genesis 2:19 stated that GOD created different kinds of animals to keep Adam company, but this was not suitable for him and this lead to GOD creating Eve (woman) from Adam’s rib. This new companion brought happiness to Adam as he stated in Gen 2:23 “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man”.




After the fall of man (Gen 3), GOD was still gracious to Adam and his wife by giving them two sons in Cain and Abel. These two sons grew up with the knowledge of GOD, however the offering of harvest to GOD put a discord between the two brothers, as GOD was pleased with Abel’s offering and not with Cain’s. This led to Cain committing the first murder in the bible by killing his brother Abel (Gen 4:3-8). GOD then cast Cain out of the garden of Eden, but despite Cain’s act GOD was still kind and gracious to him as he promise him protection and he also granted him a son. GOD was more gracious to Adam and Eve by granting them another son named Seth to replace Abel (Gen 4:25). Afterwards GOD granted them other sons and daughters. The family tree of Adam and Eve down to the time of Enoch were fruitful with no record of bareness. Enoch son of Jared a descendant of Adam was able to receive GOD’S favour through righteous living and closeness to GOD. It was by Grace that Enoch was taken away from the earth by GOD without him experiencing death (Gen 5:21-24). Noah a descendant of Adam was next in line to receive GOD’S favour has he was chosen out of all the people on the earth to be spared from the wrath that GOD wanted to inflict on the people. Noah was righteous and obedient to the will of GOD, this lead to GOD sparing him and his family from the great flood (Gen 6). GOD also showed his Grace on each pair of animals that were chosen to go into the ark with Noah (Gen 7:2).
