By the Grace

Upon its release, "By the Grace of God" received generally positive reviews. Jason Lipshutz from Billboard thought the song was "obviously not the radio fare fans are used to from the pop star Perry ", but that it was "crucial for anyone trying to understand Perry's Prism mind set". Randall Roberts from Los Angeles Times affirmed that the song was "cosmic" and that it had a "humming, dark tension in which Perry and melody float like red balloons".

In contrast, Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine described it as "a sappy Paula Cole -style statement of self-actualization". Tiffany Lee from Yahoo! Music wrote that Perry's renditions of " Unconditionally " and "By the Grace of God" "shone like lights through a prism in their acoustic setting". Perry performed the song at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards which were held on February 8, The performance was in support of domestic violence and sexual assault victims. Before she appeared on stage, a prerecorded video message from U.

We are saved by grace, through faith, through believing the Word of truth. The gospel promises salvation, full and free. God's loving mercy is the "good news" message to the sin-sick and weary-salvation offered freely to all, without money and without price. A living and active love for God expands with one's enlarging appreciation of His unmerited favor in the great salvation. We grow in loving sympathy for our brethren in their fight of faith.

And we come to love all mankind, so loved by God as to send His only begotten Son to suffer cruel death, the price of human redemption. Jesus was sent to "save his people from their sins. The saved thus have eternal life. He that hath [belief in] the Son hath life; and he that hath not [belief in] the Son of God hath not life.

Again and again Gods gift was affirmed. By Jesus to Nicodemus: Again by Jesus to the woman: By Paul to the Corinthians: Again by Paul to the Romans: What a nice expression - " the grace of God. That four word phrase "the grace of God is a synonym for Jesus: The sequence of phrases puts in good perspective the reality of His manifestation. He is the gift of God's grace by which all men may be saved. How wonderful to know it! Paul wrote a similarly-identifying phrase. Its words are specific too - " the goodness and loving kindness of God.

The Apostle in Hebrews 2: Paul also shows that "the grace of that one man Jesus Christ" in conjunction with or united with "the grace of God" provided the free gift. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.

The first thought is of Jesus - given in death as man's ransom. The second thought is the benefit of that ransom conferred upon all who really believe on Jesus - justification with its accompanying salvation.

By the Grace of God (song) - Wikipedia

It is generally acknowledged by commentators that the words "God our Savior" noted above in "the kindness of God our Savior" refer to God himself, not to His Son Jesus. The same three-word phrase was spoken in prayer by Mary of the almighty God and heavenly Father Luke 1: Aware that God is the architect and all-wise planner of salvation and its process, they all acknowledge the Father as "God our Savior. Jesus' disciples perceived that He who walked among them was indeed "full of grace and truth. Fellowship with His Father was never interrupted.

Being now perfected in the heavenlies, completed by the things which he suffered, having demonstrated faultless obedience despite temptation and accusations of blasphemy, Jesus sends forth of His fulness as His blessing upon believers. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. Surely not that the grace of the old covenant is replaced by that of the new administration.

Only by the grace of God!

Grace interchanging with grace is meant; grace replaced by fuller grace; greater depths to our spiritual relationship and fellowship; greater measures of spiritual understanding, sustenance and strength; continual impressions of received favor, new grace coming upon and superseding that formerly received. This becomes true in our individual experience.

Grace is enjoyed in proportion to our growth in appreciation for God's favor channeled through our Redeemer. And that all comes because of and out of His fulness. For while the Law was given through Moses, grace - unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual bless- ing - and truth came through Jesus Christ. It is God's richness in grace which provided the plan for deliverance from disobedience, sin and death. Paul gave that truth prominent place in Ephesians for our close consideration.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His [God's] grace. Without God's grace, death would mean extinction for all members of the condemned intelligent creation.

God has freely wrought His grace to our forgiveness and to our inheritance of eternal life. It was all in view from early time. God predestined sonship for all repentant trespassers who will avail themselves of His gracious provision of salvation. Paul emphasized again to the Ephesians God's promised riches of grace to the redeemed. Paul also used the delightful phrase, "the grace of God" early in Colossians. And again it seems to be another direct reference to Jesus. There was a time with each of us, as with the Colossians, when we did not know "the grace of God in truth.

But a time came when we did know about God's great grace. Such was the happy experience of those Colossians.

Paul took their minds back to the time - when they heard, knew, and believed as truth the words about "the grace of God. Again Paul intentionally put in focus the important aspects of salvation which are supplied through God's riches by Christ Jesus our Lord, the living example of divine grace.
