MANY 'GRACE' BENEDICTIONS

MANY ‘GRACE’ BENEDICTIONS FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT

The last benediction of the bible goes like this “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen. (Revelation 22:21) Paul wrote many grace benedictions in the New Testament. This benediction contains grace and we know is not a doctrine. 

The verse above is a benediction.  Benediction means “to speak a good word concerning somebody” or “to wish another well.” We wish that God might be gracious to or bless another person.”  These benedictions are actually promises telling us what God will do. Paul greatest desire is that grace of the Lord Jesus might be with God’s people literally.  In Galatians says beautifully and is the only exceptional verse “the grace of the Lord Jesus be with your spirit.”  Just imagine the spirit of grace in our spirit.  Grace upon grace. Grace is not in our mind or books or lessons but in our spirit.

Below here are many of Paul’s splendid benedictions which I took time to type it out.  Just read it out loud:  -
