We have much to be thankful for as we approach this Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is much much more than just saying grace at these special meal times we are looking forward to. It is "ALL OF GOD'S GRACE" that we are still alive at this present moment. We can only take one day at a time realizing that tomorrow is not promised us. (Prov. 27:1) So in this last part of our newsletter, we will share some special quotes on grace from the Geneva Bible which I hope and pray will be a rich blessing to your heart and an encouragement to learn more of your historic heritage.
See I Chronicles 17:7: "Of a shepherd of sheep I made thee a shepherd of men: so that thou camest not to this dignity through thine own merits, but by my pure grace."
See Job 36:6: "Therefore He will not preserve the wicked: but to the humble and afflicted heart He will show grace."
See Psalm 1:3: "God's children are so moistened ever with His grace, that whatsoever cometh unto them, tendeth unto their salvation."
See Psalm 66:7: "He proveth that God will extend His grace also to the Gentiles, because He punisheth among them such as will not obey His calling."
See Proverbs 27:19: "There is no difference between man and man by nature, but only the grace of God maketh the difference."
See Isaiah 4:2: "He comforteth the Church in this desolation, which shall spring up like a bud, sygnifying that God's graces should be as plentiful toward the faithful, as though they sprang out of the earth, as Isa. 45:8. Some by the bud of the Lord mean Christ."
See Jeremiah 2:2: " According to that grace and favor which I showed thee from the beginning, when I first choose thee to be my people, and married thee to myself, Ezek. 16:8.
See Jeremiah 18:8: "When the Scripture attributeth repentance unto God, it is not that he doeth contrary to that which He hath ordained in His secret counsel: but when He threateneth, it is a calling to repentance, and when He giveth man grace to repent, the threatening (which ever containeth a condition in it) taketh no place: and this the Scripture calleth repentance in God, because it so appeareth to man's judgment."
Ezekiel 11:19: "Meaning, the heart whereunto nothing can enter, and regenerate them anew, so that their heart may be soft, and ready to receive my graces."
