But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.(1.Cor.15:10) Grace does not look on us when we sin?it is a gift that enables us and gives us the strength not to sin. Grace is power, not just forgiveness. This is clearly seen, for example, in 1 Corinthians 15:10. Paul describes grace as the power that gives him the strength to act. It is not simply the forgiveness of sin, but the strength to progress in obedience. ?I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.? So when we strive to obey God, we do so not in our own strength, but ?with the strength that God supplies, that in all things he may be glorified? (1 Peter 4:11). It is the obedience of faith, faith in God?s gracious power that continually comes and empowers us to do what is right. Paul confirms this in 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 by calling each of our acts of kindness ?an act of faith? and saying that the glory it brings to Jesus is ?by the grace of our God? because it happens ?in power.? Let?s look at the entire passage: ?I always pray for you, that our God would count you worthy of his calling and fulfill every good purpose for his goodness and the work of your faith with power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you?and you in him?according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.? Obedience that pleases God comes through the power of God?s grace in faith. The same formula applies to every phase of the Christian life. The power of God?s grace that saves through faith (Ephesians 2:8) is the same power of God?s grace that sanctifies through faith.
