"Grace—God’s freely-given favour that we neither earned nor deserved—is it too good to be true? There must be some hidden clause to it, right? Press play and see how God’s grace is BOTH good AND true. It isn’t dependent on our merits, nor on how well we “Christian”. And although it came to us free, it cost God everything. When we receive grace, it doesn’t cause us to live flippantly but like what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:10 (TLB), “…whatever I am now it is all because God poured out such kindness and grace upon me.” He adds that he’s worked harder than all the other apostles, but it was really God working in him, to bless him.

Go for Revelation Knowledge
"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
2 Peter 1:2"
If
you were to look up the Greek word that’s translated “knowledge” in
that scripture, you’d find out that it means more than just a mental
understanding of something, more than the kind of knowledge that can be
gained through your senses. It means exact knowledge. Knowledge that’s
been revealed directly to your heart by the Spirit of God. I call it revelation knowledge.
The lack of that kind of knowledge has caused more faith failures than anything else I know. That’s because most Christians believe the Word with their minds, but they haven’t meditated on it enough for it to “light up” in their hearts. If they had, that Word would absolutely revolutionize their lives. Nothing in heaven or earth would be able to shake them loose from it.
I know a widow who got hold of that kind of revelation one afternoon. She’d been meditating in the scriptures that say if you’re a widow, God Almighty has taken His place as your provider and leader of your household.
She’d been feeling a little sorry for herself up until then. But when she received the revelation that God was actually head of her household now, she started talking to Him like she would a husband.
“I’m telling You, Lord, the plumbing in this house is pitiful. Will You please get it fixed?” she said. From that moment on, she never had any more trouble with her plumbing.
If you need something from God, determine right now that you’re going to do what that widow did. Determine that you’re going to meditate the Word until you get a revelation like that. Keep that Word before you until you receive a revelation of Jesus as your healer or your deliverer or your financier—whatever you need Him to be. Don’t settle for a shallow mental understanding of Him. Get a deep revelation and His grace will be multiplied to you!
