"From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." John 1:16 (NIV) The King James Version of The Bible reads: " And of His fullness have all we received, grace for grace."
In the gospel according to the Apostle John, self described as "the disciple whom Jesus loved", these words were written just after stating that:The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and he was a witness of Him. (John 1:14-15) It is from the fullness of His grace that all of them, and all of us, have been blessed.
The Lord God is an unending well of grace and blessings which is overflowing and spilling unto all of us. (Ephesians 1:23) It is by His grace that we are what we are. (1 Corinthians 15:10) It is by the grace of God that we live, move, and have our very being. (Acts 17:28) We have all received blessing after blessing, and we should forever be giving Him thanks. We should thank Him for that which we have, instead of worrying about that which we don't have.
