Growing Grace
"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus". (2 Timothy 2:1 NKJV) There is a deposit of grace on a believer, arising from his encounter with and ascension into the presence of God. This deposit naturally depletes with subsequent and undeniable encounters with the affairs of life. Therefore, a sustaining grace cannot rely on the deposited grace, but on the grace that is dependent on consistent connection and continuous supply from the throne of grace. Even when our souls are invaded by the tangles of life, our spirits can refuse to be entangled but inspired by a growing grace.
