Everything was apparently lost, that day when the man disobeyed the divine commandment of His Creator that said: “Do not eat of that tree”. Darkness at that time took over the earth, death and discouragement ravaged existence. The beginning of a humanity seemed at the end so quickly, however, not everything would remain that way and that is why many years later God sent His Son to give us salvation.
The apostle Paul wrote:
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,
17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 2:15-17

Hope for grace
============
How can we have access to the throne of grace without receiving power from Heaven?
It would be impossible for us sinners. We need the Spirit of God and the mediation of our Lord Jesus Christ: He is the way to get a connection with the Father who loves us. But we are separate from Him, we are impure people before Him, who is three times Holy; and the worst of all is we are not able to remedy our bad situation.
Thanks be given to the Lord God, who had mercy on us and provided a mediator that made it possible for us to have free access to his presence, our Lord Jesus Christ, the very Son of the Father who wanted to occupy our place and received the punishment that our sins deserve.
He covered us with justice and holiness, we were comforted and adopted children of God.
The work was of Jesus, we do not take any merit, nor could we possibly please the Father God with any good action. His only begotten Son, humanized, could provide for the purity and holiness required.
Therefore it was by a free gift of God to the fallen humanity that we have believed in Him. It was by grace that He gives us everlasting consolation.
This is what the apostle Paul tells us in the 2nd Epistle to Thessalonians:
“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,”
2 Thessalonians 2:16
Amen.
AMEN. AMEN.
THANK YOU FATHER FOR YOUR GRACE AND MERCY IN JESUS NAME AMEN
