What is Sufficient Grace?

The word Grace is a magnificent word used 155 times in the New Testament. God does not skimp on his grace. So what is sufficient grace? In 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says; "my grace is sufficient for you. My power works best in your weakness." The Bible refers to God's grace as the unmerited favor of God. The word sufficient means enough to meet a need or a purpose. God’s word says his grace is sufficient for you. That means when you are running on empty God will refill your tank with his grace, mercy, honor and favor. God promises to demonstrate his power in us. The fact that God's power is displayed in our weaknesses should give us courage and hope. As we reach our limitations, we can depend more on God for our effectiveness rather than on our own energy, effort or talent. Our limitations not only help develop Christian character but also deepen our worship, because in admitting them we are affirming God's strength. Life provides enough hindrances and setbacks and when those obstacles come, we can depend on God. Only his power will make us effective for him and help us do work that has lasting value.
