God manifests His grace through the actions of redemption and forgiveness offered to His people.
The manifestation of God's grace is vividly displayed in the redemption plan orchestrated through Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This grace is not just a passive quality of God; it is actively working in the lives of believers. The message draws parallels between God's grace in the Old Testament and the profound grace that comes through Christ, emphasizing that despite our wandering and unfaithfulness, His grace is continually available and restorative. This understanding transforms how we view our sin and our relationship with God.
