Tailor Made

If you are a golfer, you would recognize the name Taylor Made as a brand of golf clubs and equipment. If you are into fashion, it is clothing designed and fitted specifically for the buyer. I want you to see a tailor made covenant of Grace you and I have that was designed and fitted for you from Almighty God. If somehow you will grasp the significance of that, you will never be the same.

A covenant of grace is a relationship of favor that gives you access to someone else’s power and authority over your life. Imagine this: God enters into a covenant with you, and He gives you everything He has in exchange for everything you have. Sounds odd because we know what we have seems insignificant compared to what God will give us.

I hope these next few lines empower you with confidence. He takes your sin so He can give you His righteousness. He takes your sickness and gives you His health. He takes your financial calamity and gives you His resources. Whatever He asks you to do for Him, He provides you with everything needed to carry it to completion.

If you are a Christ follower, you have entered into a covenant relationship that He initiated. Your identity is in Him. You have 24/7 relational access to Christ.

Take your place in His family.
