“Indeed, everything is for your sake, so that grace, when it has extended to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.” —2 Corinthians 4:15
Grace permeates the narrative of Scripture. You can trace the story of God’s grace from Genesis through Revelation. There are twists and turns along the way, but nothing is by chance. It is all according to God’s plan and for His glory. The end of the story is anticipated from the beginning, and the whole of Scripture tells the unfolding story of the Messiah. Christ is promised and revealed. As we come to know Him, our story is intertwined and we are recipients of that grace, participants in the story of the ages. At every point, the story is meant to increase our thanksgiving and bring glory to God.
Frontier Fellowship Associate Directors Alex and Dana host Bible studies for international students in their region of the US—many of whom are from least-reached regions of the world. Together, they read God’s Word, facilitate discussions and help answer questions about faith in Jesus. This is the grace of God, bringing people together from different cultures and contexts and enabling them to have opportunities to hear and respond to the Gospel story—the Good News of Jesus.
During the Advent season, we have an incredible opportunity to share the story of God’s grace demonstrated throughout history and in the sending of His Son. Pray that God’s grace will extend through His people and His Word, so that many more will share in offering thanksgiving to the glory of God.
