Grace is a central theme in the New Testament, highlighting the gift of salvation and the empowerment for Christian living. The Apostle Paul frequently begins and ends his letters with a mention of grace, underscoring its importance in the believer's life. The grace of Jesus is a reflection of His sacrificial love and is foundational to the Christian faith, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>, where salvation is described as a gift of grace through faith.<p><b>be with your spirit.</b><br>This part of the verse speaks to the personal and intimate nature of the relationship between Christ and the believer. The "spirit" here refers to the inner being or the core of a person, indicating that grace is not just an external blessing but something that transforms and sustains the believer from within. This echoes Paul's other writings, such as in <a href="/galatians/6-18.htm">Galatians 6:18</a>, where he similarly concludes with a blessing of grace upon the spirit. The phrase suggests a continual presence and influence of Christ's grace, aligning with the promise of the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence in the life of a believer, as seen in <a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16-17</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a></b><br>The apostle who authored the letter to the Philippians.

They were known for their generosity and partnership in the gospel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>Central to the message of grace in this verse, Jesus is the source of grace and the one through whom believers receive spiritual strength and encouragement.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_grace.htm">Understanding Grace</a></b><br>Grace is unmerited favor from God, a gift that empowers and sustains believers.
