Focus on God's grace to obey and serve God

Text:Job 36:11,Hebrews 4:16,12:28,Titus 2:11,Ephesians 2:8-9.

Man was created by God to willingly serve and worship Him!Whatever man focuses on outside God will attract man's attention, worship and service.The blessing and prosperity of man is contingent on man's willingness to obey and serve God(Job 36:11, 22:21-25, Isaiah 1:19).
After man sinned he fell short of God's glory and grace( favor and strength)-Romans 3:23 to remain in the presence of God.God in His Son Jesus Christ through the finished work on the Cross provided a way for man to return back to blessing by releasing the fullness of grace(power and favor) needed to obey and serve God; and also mercy that will answer to every accusation from the enemy but intead rejoice over judgment.
Grace and mercy are found in Christ Jesus.When we connect to Him through prayers, keeping our minds on Him, fellowshipping with Him and in particular obeying His words, we will enjoy prosperity and blessing here on earth and our mansions bright in heaven.
So we should daily focus on the supply of the spirit of grace from our Lord Jesus Christ through prayers; that would deliver us from sin and the wiles of the enemy and train us to reject and renouce ungodliness and worldly desires and to live a discreet , upright, devout lives in the present world; instead of focusing on the demand of obedience through self efforts which gender to works, frustrations and failures.Outside Jesus Christ we cannot achieve anything.
Therefore we must continue to pray without ceasing for mercy and grace from Jesus Christ . The act of connnecting to Christ Jesus through prayers and focus moment by moment consciously and daily is our faith in action. God bless you
