I Need Grace

Grace to live as the Word of God commands:
"But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves" - James 1:22

Grace to exemplify the fruit of the Spirit:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law" - Galatians 5:22-23

Grace to submit to authority and doing the right thing:
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 1 Peter 2:13-14

James admonishes us to not only hear the Word of God but follow it as well, and seriously, it's not easy. This is precisely why I need the grace of God to carry such things out.

It is my hope that you might submit yourselves to the Word of God too, join the saints who've responded to our Lord's instruction in John 8:31,
If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine

We need your grace Lord!
