Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God.
– Hebrews 12:15 (NLT)
HOW TO RECEIVE GOD’S GRACE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you committed yourself to Jesus?
Do you know how much you are precious?
If you want to receive God’s grace
You must do what the word says.
Look after each other so no one fails to receive it
Then you will be harvesting the fruits of the Spirit
He commanded us to care for one another
Are you showing your love for your sisters and brothers?

The word ‘grace’ (CHEN in Hebrew, CHARIS in Greek), as it is used in the scriptures, literally means ‘favour’, to bend or stoop in kindness to another as a superior to an inferior. It has the idea of graciousness in manner or action. When used in reference to God, it is the benevolent action of Him stooping down to us in His kindness to reach us in our need, and convey upon us a benefit. What an awesome God! He stoops down to our level just so he can show his love for us. Have you ever been loved this much by anyone?
The bible tells us that there is a requirement to receive the grace of God. He wants us to look after each other so that we won’t miss it. By loving others, we show that we love him.
