 The words of grace build us up, giving us more than just a wish. The gracious words of God actually change our lives, and always for the better. These gracious words also tell us of the inheritance we have coming. Finally, these words remind us that we're part of a much larger family than we can imagine, the family of all who are sanctified by God's gracious words. These words of grace are not just a sincere wish, but they are the power of God to do His work.
