“With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it,” 1 Peter 5:12 (NIV).

Commentary: God’s grace is an unmerited favor, which means we do not have it because of our good works or self-imposed holiness. God just gives us His grace because He genuinely loves us. He wants us to be happy, fulfilled, and righteous. Our duty is to be forever grateful to God for this show of unmerited kindness. We can do this by loving one another dearly, because Jesus Christ said, ‘the most important commandment I will give you is: “Love ye one another!” ‘

Prayers: May Your grace abound in our lives and be reflected in everything we do, O Lord.
