We can overcome all things
thrcugh the grace of God
BY REV. CLARE GEDDES
Have you ever seen a friend caught up in a
heartbreaking situation and said to
yourself :,"There but for the grace of God go
I"? What do you mean by "grace"? How do
you understand it?
Like the word "love", "grace" is hard to
pin down, to define precisely. Of course we
know what it means – until we have to spell
it nut!
St. Paul gave us a clue when he wrote:
"For by grace you have been saved through.
faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the
gift of God— not because of works, lest any
man should boast" ('Ephesians 2: 8-9).
In this context "grace" means "God's
unmerited favor. Shown to mankind in
Christ". Paul elaborated on this meaning
and clarified it beyond a doubt by adding,
"and this is not your own doing, it is the gift
of God— not because of works, lest any man
should boast".
�11ea};ly, we can do nothing to earn or to
deserve salvation; it' is "the gift of God".
("To be saved" refers to the same spiritual
experience as "to inherit eternal life" (Luke
18:18)) and "to enter the kingdom of God"
(Luke 18:25).
In'anothler passage St. Paul seems to con-
tradict his teaching on "grace" when he
wrote: "...work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling; for God is at work in
you, both to will and to work for his good
pleasure" (Philippians 2: 12b-13).
The contradiction disappears, however,
when we understand that the words. "with
fear and trembling" mean "humbly and
with constant dependence on G'od's help".
If only we believed in God's grace, in His
"unmerited favor shown to us in Christ",
how much frenzy would disappear from our•
lives! Gone would be our frantic efforts to
• pile 'up good deeds so as to merit or°to'earn
God's favor. Gone also would be our fierce
and constant drive for "independence" — to
make "our own way in the world", "to sink
or to swim entirely on our own".
Early in life we all get the message that if
we are going to succeed — in school, on the

MINISTER'S STUDY
job, or in personal realtionships, we must do
it on our own. Somehow it is better to be
fiercely independent than to be obligated to
anyone.
We seldom question this teaching; we
simply adopt it into our system of belief and
operation. Insidiously, it soon colors our
endeavours in all areas of "life.
Even as Christians we find ourselves
striving sincerely "to work out our own
salvation" quite independently even from
God himself. And so we guarantee our own
failure.
Until we learn to work out our salvation
"with fear and trembling" we will never
succeed. Only by striving humbly and with
constant dependence .on God's help will we
enjoy a full and wholesome relationship
with God or with anyone else.
As we learn to depend on God we will also
learn to be "interdependent" with others.
We will learn to risk depending upon others;
to risk having others depend upon us. Even
Christians do not always like the risk this.iil1-
volves. The risk of deep disappointment.
The risk of being hurt. The risk of being
manipulated or used.
Yet even here the grace of God can help
us. "Grace" also means "God's enabling
presence andower". Here is the link bet-
ween grace arid faith. For me, quite simply,
faith is "betting my life there is a•God" —
the God revealed in Jesus Christ. For me
faith involves risk.
But, it is a risk which grace, "God*senabl-
ing presence and power", helps me to take.
The sure knowledge that I do not risk alone,
that by his presence God will give me the
power to accomplish what he wants me to
do, gives me the courage to risk and to dare.
So when we face a heartbreaking situation
in our lives we' can count on God's grace —
not to help us to avoid it — but to wrestle
creatively with it and to overcome it, and
not be overcome by it. Like St. Paul, we too
"can do all things through Him who
strengthens me" (Philippians 4; 13).
