Aim: To become stronger in Christ's grace, by faith.
Doctrine: Being strong in Christ's grace means to be more fully dependent upon God's provisions. Only in this way may we persevere in our faith and minister in our world.
Exegesis: Three great benefits of the strength of Christ's grace: it sets our sights on our help, and our goal (v. 1); it emboldens us to extend the church's influence (v. 2); it steels us for all the struggles that lie ahead (vv. 3-7).
Further application: How to grow in the strength of Christ's grace: first, by believing the gospel's wonderful message; then, by doing the impossible—out of love for Christ.
Key verse: v. 1 ''You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.''
