Build us up

Act 20:32  And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

The word of HIS GRACE- is able to BUILD us up!

BUILD.

What does it mean to build?  When you're building you are creating something aren't you?  If I build my strength I'm creating more muscle mass. If I build a house, I'm creating a structure. If I build character I'm creating better personality traits in myself. To build means to create and when we are being built up as the Word of God tells us- our spiritual life is growing, it's becoming something more than it was.  The word of God's grace can cause us to grow, it will BUILD us up, it will give us an INHERITANCE as we are made holy, sanctified.  We MUST, absolutely MUST study the word of God and His grace! We must constantly dwell upon the grace of our Savior realizing it is only through a constant study, a constant prayer that we are built up in Christ. It does us no good to accept Christ as our Savior and then go on to live our lives oblivious to Him, He must be a real presence in our lives, in all we do.

All by HIS amazing grace!

In Jesus Christ always!

Amen!
