Favor Be Multiplied to You
It’s important to God that you have faith in His favor. He wants to bring you into favor with both God and man!
The Holy Spirit, knowing how important grace (which means “favor”) is to help New Testament believers, put the words “Grace (favor), and peace be multiplied to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ” at the beginning the 17 New Testament books.
Think about it. Within the first three verses of 17 New Testament books, the Holy Spirit wants to impress upon the believer the importance of favor.
Favor is so important that it is extended to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. What a greeting from God!
The super great news for us from God’s marvelous greeting is His spoken blessing that favor and peace will be multiplied to us. That means favor and peace can increase in our lives. In fact, God expects you to believe Him for increased favor. So believe you receive an increase of favor, then start acting accordingly.
When you believe that God favors you, and you act accordingly, there will be many days that you feel like you live a charmed life.
God told the Israelites they would be so blessed that their days would be “like heaven upon the earth” (Deuteronomy 11:21). God certainly wants that for you, too.
