When a person is a recipient of grace, there is no explanation needed concerning the benefit.  The Samaritan woman's life was changed after an encounter with Jesus.  It changed everything. 

Together, they are only in the New Testament.  Together, there are only 4 instances.  These are powerful references.  Three of the four times, they are part of a greeting.  Two of them are a greeting from Paul, one is from John.  The remaining instance is no surprise.  The author of Hebrews is teaching about it.  The verses speak for themselves.

1Tim. 1:2   To Timothy, my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

2Tim. 1:2   To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Heb. 4:16 Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

2John 3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Praise God! 

Jesus taught about the Resurrection.  It's part of the best news ever. 

This phrase in "My Savior's Love" is when it gets personal. The death of Jesus on the cross was intentional.  It was the "atoning" sacrifice.  His death paid the penalty of all humanities transgressions. "He made them His very own".  The writer of Hebrews made this point clear.Heb. 2:17 Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
How Marvelous!  How Wonderful!  Praise God!

The high holiday of Easter on the Christian calendar and all the activities around it can sometimes send the wrong message.  Jesus doesn't say we have to be dressed in our finest and in church to qualify for His salvation.  Instead, He welcomes us just as we are.  Consider the Resurrection.  Maybe you doubt it's truthfulness.  Paul addressed these kind of doubts in 1 Corinthians 15. 

Nehemiah found himself in Susa, the capital of Persian 450 years before Jesus was born.  God's plan was to settle His people back in their homeland.

How Marvelous! How Wonderful!  That's what the chorus is like and the song "My Savior's Love" rings true because there is so much Gospel in it! Here are the words to this great tune provided by Hymnary. 

1 I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how he could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Refrain:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!
2 For me it was in the garden
He prayed, "Not my will, but thine;"
He had no tears for his own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine. [Refrain]
3 He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them his very own;
He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
And suffered and died alone. [Refrain]
4 When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of his love for me. [Refrain]
Praise God! 

When David wrote Psalm 103, he listed the great benefits of serving God.  One that stands out is this from verse 10:

He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.

What a blessing.  It is in God's nature to forgive.  Praise God! 

Acrostics in the Old Testament demonstrate the intentionality of those who wrote them as instructive an planned praises to convey the love of God to the next generation. 

The great Psalm 103 has 22 verses just as there are 22 characters in the Hebrew alphabet. It is such a powerful Psalm that one would think to be constructed in an acrostic fashion.  One phrase that is repeated is: Bless the Lord! Consider all the positive declarations in this grand phrase of text.
Psa. 103:0    Of David.

Psa. 103:1    Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psa. 103:6    The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame; 
he remembers that we are dust.

Psa. 103:15    As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.

Psa. 103:20    Bless the LORD, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the LORD, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the LORD, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul! 

Psalm 103 can just preach you happy!  It lists the many benefits of belonging to God! He made the decision to praise, then he listed out the benefits in an effort to "forget not".  One benefit that rings true for every Christian believer is this:  "who forgives all your iniquity," The believer doesn't have to bear their own sin, He already has.  Praise God! 

There are times in the Christian journey when we have to stop and make a decision.  The Psalmist in Psalm 103 understood this.  He made a decision to "Bless the Lord" and he told his soul to pay attention.  One of the things he said was to "forget not" all His benefits.

Psa. 103:1   Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Praise God! 

The Bible says much about grace. One of my friends was struggling with their faith.  Like many believers, they felt themselves far too inadequate for the love of God.  I took the time to identify for them some helpful verses on grace.  When I looked, I found many more than what I went to look for.  Here they are.  
John 10:10; 20:31; Rom. 5:1; 6:17; 7:5–6; 8:1–4; 2 Cor. 5:16–21; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:3–9; 1 John 1:9; 2:2
Praise God for His abundant grace! 

The phrase "draw near" is in the book of Hebrews to describe the grand privilege that believers have to come to God.  This is because the work that Christ did made it possible for access.  
Heb. 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Heb. 7:19
(for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
Heb. 7:25
Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
Heb. 10:1
  For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near.
Heb. 10:22
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Heb. 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
We can draw NEAR!  Praise God! 

In the ESV Bible, the original is translated to an English phrase "draw near" 34 times.  The Hebrew language uses two different words that effectively mean "come" or "approach" and the Greek language does as well.  In the Old Testament the phrase is used in both positive and negative contexts.  In the New Testament it's almost always positive. Here are the references.  Hover over them and see what it means to "draw near".
​Lev. 9:7; 21:18; Num. 16:40; Deut. 2:37; 20:2, 10; Judg. 19:13; 20:23; 1 Sam. 14:36; Psa. 69:18; 119:150; Eccl. 5:1; 12:1; Is. 5:19; 29:13; 34:1; 41:1; 45:20; 48:16; 57:3; 58:2; Jer. 30:21; Ezek. 43:19; Joel 3:9; Zeph. 3:2; Mal. 3:5; Heb. 4:16; 7:19, 25; 10:1, 22; 11:6; James 4:8
Praise God!

Have you ever wondered how much of a difference it makes when we pray?  Some of us pray structured, "according to Your will prayers", others of us prefer the shotgun approach.  "Lord, bless everyone!". I believe that effective prayer is somewhere in the middle.  I'm thankful Jesus taught His disciples, and thus, us. to pray. It's a fine example of what our priorities should be when we pray. In Acts chapter 4, the apostles had been questioned and threatened by the Sanhedrin after a man was miraculously healed (Acts 4:1-30). They went back to the church and told them about it.  They lifted their voices in prayer and the Bible says this:

Acts 4:31       After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Bold, faith-filled prayers make a difference. Praise God! 

There's something special that happens in the Gospel of John when Jesus says "I Am"

God's presence with us is assured in Matthew 28:19-20.  When you search "presence of God" the phrase is in the Bible 7 times.  Each of these times gives us a picture of how valuable and awesome it is.  The first one is absolutely frightening.  Uzzah had touched the ark of the covenant to steady it (while the Israelites were carrying it on a cart, the wrong way) and Chronicles tells us the following:

1Chr. 13:10 Then the LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him dead because he had reached out to the ark. So he died there in the presence of God.
Yikes! Yet there is this first occurrence of the phrase in the Bible.  It was the judgment of God, but at least he died "in the presence of God"....

The next time is in Luke, where the Angel of the Lord gives this magnificent statement to Mary.

Luke 1:19        The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and tell you this good news.
The third time, after Peter's vision on the rooftop, he travels to Cornelius's house (a house full of Gentiles) and they describe the setting:

Acts 10:33 So I immediately sent for you, and it was good of you to come. So now we are all in the presence of God to hear everything you have been commanded by the Lord.”
These are the other four times, also awesome.  Hover over the reference and notice the wonder of the "presence of God"
1 Tim. 6:13; Heb. 9:24; Rev. 8:2, 4
Praise God!
