What is grace ?

Most of us do not have any idea what grace really is.
• We know some basic facts about it.
• We know we were saved by it (Eph. 2:8).
• But we do not understand the real power it can release in our lives !

In Acts 4 the early Christians had been threatened by the religious leaders of Jerusalem and commanded not to speak or teach any more in Jesus' Name. They prayed about the situation. Do you know what happened as a result of that prayer?
Verse 33 tells us, "Great grace was upon them all."
Grace so powerful
that when those believers received it, the whole building shook.
that it enabled the apostles to work "many signs and wonders... among the people" (Acts 5:12).

Have you been threatened by the devil ? Follow the example of those early Christians. Get into prayer and just turn up the power!

Acts 4:33
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
