Today we continue our series entitled “Living the Grace Life,” where we will learn to embrace and walk in God’s unmerited, unearned, and often undeserved favor throughout 2025.
Key scriptures for this year:
2 Corinthians? ?9?:?8? ?TPT??
“Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.”
??
??Galatians? ?5?:?4? ?TPT??
“If you want to be made right with God by fulfilling the obligations of the law, you have cut off more than your flesh—you have cut yourselves off from Christ and have fallen away from the revelation of grace!”
Romans? ?6?:?14? ?ERV??
“Sin will not be your master, because you are not under law. You now live under God’s grace.”
??
1 Corinthians? ?15?:?10? ?NIV??
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.“
Additional scriptures for today:
??Ephesians? ?3?:?14?-?20? ?TPT??
“So I kneel humbly in awe before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth. And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God! Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.”
Setting the stage:
Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians reveals a progression: from understanding God’s love, to being rooted in it, to experiencing supernatural power, to seeing the impossible manifest. This is how we’re supposed to live. This is THE GRACE LIFE. When we are fully convinced of God’s love, His supernatural strength floods our being, and we become conduits of His explosive power.
So, what does this mean to you today? I will attempt to give you a few golden nuggets as we break down ??Ephesians? ?3?:?14?-?20.
1. Supernatural Love Starts with Divine Revelation.
“I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor…” Paul starts the passage we are focusing in on today (??Ephesians? ?3?:?14?-?20? ?TPT??) with a prayer for revelation because understanding God’s love requires divine unveiling. This supernatural revelation leads to divine might and explosive power.
How this applies to you:
— The love of God is SO far above earthly forms of love that our text explains how God must literally “unveil” His love to us. Romans 5:5 tells us that God literally pours out His love in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. This supernatural revelation concerning the love of God is necessary because it cannot be naturally understood.
— The “unlimited riches” of God’s glory and favor await our discovery. We discover this as we walk with God and He pulls back the veil (unveils) so we can open our hearts to the fullness of God’s love and grace.
— Paul teaches us that our “innermost being” is flooded with “divine might and explosive power” as we get a revelation of God’s favor (His grace).
— How do we get this revelation? It comes from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals God’s love to us, and when He does, we also get a glimpse of the unlimited riches of His power in our spirit. Our spirit man is flooded with supernatural insight and strength.
— As you learn about the love and grace of God this year, the more you understand it and open your heart to it, the more you will be strengthened supernaturally, simply because of the revelation of God’s love and grace in your heart.
— The revelation I am talking about goes beyond what your mind can learn. What I am talking about is what your spirit can discern. And the more you discern it, the more you will be strengthened and changed by it.
— Now that you know how important receiving revelation from God is, please make time in your busy schedule to slow down and hear from God. Meditate on God’s goodness, even if it’s only for 5 minutes. Give God time to allow His love to flood your spirit. This spiritual strengthening will impact every meeting, decision, and interaction throughout your day, making you more effective while feeling less stressed.
2. God’s Love Has No Limits.
Paul says, “How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding…” Paul reveals that God’s love operates in dimensions we can barely comprehend.
How this applies to you:
— God’s love is both “deeply intimate” and “far-reaching” in your life. It goes deep and wide. Deep IN you, to transform you from the inside out. And wide FROM you, producing fruit that far exceeds anything you could have ever done on your own.
— Paul tells us that God’s love is also “enduring.” This means it is everlasting, available in and through every season.
— Not only is God’s love “enduring,” but it is also “inclusive.” This means it includes YOU. It is personal to YOU. It covers every aspect of YOUR existence. It is “deeply intimate” and very personal.
— Paul goes on to explain that God’s love “transcends understanding” and works beyond our logic, reason, or common sense.
— The power of God’s love and grace are so supernatural that we continually discover “the great magnitude” of it daily, as we walk with the Holy Spirit. In other words, the more we walk with God, the more revelation we get of God’s unending love and unearned grace.
— God is looking for His love to operate in “all its dimensions” in your life. These dimensions far exceed our humanity. But if we open our hearts to God’s love, we get to experience what Paul says is “endless love beyond measurement.”
— What is the point of all of this? Why am I taking my time to drive this home? It is because 1) God is love, 2) God loves us unconditionally, and 3) God is tirelessly trying to get us to open our hearts to His endless love so we can be changed by it.
— The day you believe the love of God will be the day your faith will be strong because your faith will not be rooted in your performance (which wavers) but in His love (which never fails).
— When facing challenging situations at work – whether it’s tough decisions, difficult employees, or complex problems – God’s unlimited love flowing through you enables you to respond with both wisdom and grace. His love empowers you to maintain peace while managing conflicts, and His grace gives you supernatural insight for making decisions that exceed human wisdom. Living THE GRACE LIFE helps you to come up with divine solutions in the marketplace.
3. God’s Love Leads to Fullness and Rest.
Paul says, “This extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!” This describes a supernatural saturation that exceeds human capacity.
How this applies to you:
— God’s “extravagant love” far exceeds any of the limits that humans attach to conditional love. This is why God wants to pour out His love into our hearts. God knows that we could never believe what He believes about us (in all of its fullness) until we are convinced that He loves us.
— The more we open our hearts to God’s love, the more we become filled “to overflowing” with God’s presence. Why is this important? Because when you are filled with the presence of the Lord, and you are cognizant of it, you are freed from the pressure to perform and from the limits of your humanity.
— Paul is teaching us that God’s love creates supernatural overflow in and through us.
— Yes, we are called and commanded to walk and live by faith. But without what Paul says is “the fullness of God,” meaning the fullness of His love, we will never believe God the way He wants us to believe Him or about us. I hope you better understand what Paul said when he said, “Faith works by love.” Your faith will only be strong when you are convinced that God loves you.
— Paul says, “Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.”
— The resting place of God’s love becomes the very source and root of your life. God’s love transforms you from emptiness to overflow. And it is not because you are stressing or struggling to make anything happen. The highest form of faith is REST, and you will never truly REST until you are convinced that God loves you. But once you are convinced and you REST, you become a conduit of God’s extravagant love and amazing power.
— Instead of WORKING to earn God’s love, the grace of God empowers you to REST in His love. At this point, His love produces change IN you and fruit FROM you! And this type of overwhelming love leaves no room for lack.
— When you feel overwhelmed, instead of pushing harder in your own strength, learn to rest in God’s love. This divine rest actually increases productivity because you’re operating from overflow rather than exhaustion. You’ll accomplish more while stressing less.
4. God’s Love Releases Miraculous Power.
Paul said, “Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.”
How this applies to you:
— Meditating and medicating on the grace and love of God frees you from the pressure to perform.
— His “mighty power” works in you continuously. Not yours.
— God “achieves infinitely more” than your greatest requests. Not you.
— His power exceeds your “most unbelievable dream.” Not your power.
— You’re “constantly energized” by miraculous power. Not because of you, but because of Him.
— God’s power “outdoes” your highest expectations. So it’s not about you!
— His love enables the impossible to become possible. Not human love.
— Do you get it? The revelation of God’s love and grace makes your life ALL ABOUT HIM and not about you!
In closing, stop trying to make things happen in your own power. When you’re fully convinced of God’s love, you’ll see Him open doors no human could open and bring solutions no strategy meeting could produce. Your role is to rest in His love and follow His leading. This is THE GRACE LIFE!
