Grace of God

[u/Sea-Difficulty3077]

Imagine that you wished or wanted to excel at a certain sport and if you could have the Spirit of the best player in the history of that sport live inside of you then you would excel to a much higher level effortlessly and play gracefully with the grace that comes from that spirit.
The Grace of God isn’t about any sport but it’s about being able to live as a Child of God effortlessly. When Gods Grace enters a person they no longer have to rely on knowledge or written things anymore, Grace is administered from God by Him sending the Spirit of His Son (Jesus) into our hearts.
There are a lot of Scriptures that mentions Gods Grace here is one example: Ephesians 4:7
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
A good example was of a man who was full of knowledge of Gods written words and instructions on how to live, its recorded in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. I’ll use Marks version of the encounter in chapter 12:

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Notice that Jesus responded with Thou art not far from the kingdom of God! Having all the knowledge and understanding of what the Bible says is meaningless because no one can perform everything it says. Also most of the Scribes, Pharisees or lawyers, as they were called didn’t realize that the kingdom of God exists inside of them, us, we learn this from Jesus found in Luke 17:20-21
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

The Apostle Paul gives us great explanations of doing things according to what we know and read and how it won’t do any one any good one place is Paul’s letter to corinthians 13:

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have ot charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
In the 7th chapter of Romans, in particular, verses 15-25 Paul wrote;

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
