The Word of His Grace is a God-inspired, Spirit-directed platform that affords lovers of Jesus and believers in the one true God an effective means to grow in intimacy with Him and eveolve into the best version of themselves. We believe in the inerrancy of the Bible as the Spirit-inspired Word of God, its authenticity verified by numerous historical, archeological, sociological, scientific and other extra-biblically validated bodies of evidence.
The Word of God is our manual for living, our country’s constitution and our destiny’s blueprint. The average believer is familiar with its precepts and stories to some degree, but does not typically invest a lot of time to study, absorb and apply it’s principles. Most read it out of a rote obligation since “it’s the thing to do”, and often do so to mark off on their mental, physical or spiritual checklist as being done.
This is not God’s intention. Every loyal citizen of a nation familiarizes themselves with their country’s constitutional rights so they can be knowlegable about & insist upon the benefits of their citizenship, thereby living optimally.
Architects and builders of any facility or structure intended for service, longevity, and the enjoyment by many are compelled to carefully create, study and constantly reference their blueprints to ensure proper adherence to the plan, thus exactly replicating the specifications guaranteed to produce a strong, safe, and enduring structure.
Likewise, manufacturers make available with all their purchased products manuals that enable the optimization of the product. Such manuals indicate the product’s purpose, components, & capacity, specifying operational & optimization instructions so the product serves its intended purpose in the capacity with which it was endowed.
I cannot speak for others, but I am not one that naturally gravitates towards manuals. I seem to have the unspoken philosophy that secretly promotes the concept: “Why take the time to study, acquire and apply the knowledge to properly operate & optimize this new product when I can waste just as much or even more time by assuming I can figure it myself?”
This frame of mind has been demonstrated with practically every device or piece of machinery I’ve ever owned, the most notable being a sleek luxury car with lots of bells and whistles, never mind the fact that I was ignorant so didn’t utilize ninety five percent of them! It was just before I relinquished the car that I realized it had capacities I had never discovered, one of which was a sophisticated GPS system which served the dual purpose of also being a DVD movie player and screen; something I would have thoroughly enjoyed had I known if it’s existence before then!
This is how most believers go through life. We assume we know how to manage our lives and can figure things out as we go, barely realizing how much we are missing out on God’s optimal plan for our lives. We occasionally (if even that) skim the pages of our life manual, and as a result, live ordinarily & function suboptimally when we were created with superlative bells and whistles that when properly understood, deployed and optimized, could give us extraordinary, superior & exhilarating lives!
The same can be said in regards to our citizenship and destiny – assuming and/or barely skimming the constitution and blueprint of our life will similarly result in living a suboptimal and substandard life born by being ill-equipped with insufficient knowledge of our constitutional rights, building on faulty foundations and/or not building with superior, safe, & enduring material – all of which can eventually lead to disasterous outcomes. Let’s use this and other platforms to change that narrative and our life trajectories!
