THE GENESIS

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.”

GENESIS 1:2 (KJV)

It may interest you to know that the experience of grace that we have under this dispensation called GRACE didn’t begin with the outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, it began in the beginning. Grace was the experience Adam had with God, and it was from it he fell. What we saw Jesus doing during his thirty three and the half years on earth was a restorative work: so grace began yet again on the day of Pentecost.

Earth’s first experience of grace was in the beginning when God had to correct the imbalance that was on earth – grace restores.

We probably wouldn’t have known a thing about God if the event of Genesis chapter one verse two didn’t take place: for grace is compelled by a void in humanity. It was the void in humanity that made Jesus come to earth.

The writing of Paul reveals that where sin abounds grace abounds much more. Do not despise your present challenges: it is an invitation to grace. God likes to get involved in messy situations as that gives him the opportunity to display his love and power in our lives. God is not disgusted at your weaknesses, nor at your challenges, he had always understood the frailties of earth and so he has made himself available to help us. Only turn to him in faith, and you will see him right on the scene.
