Revelation 22:21

 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.

·        The book (and the Bible) ends with a word of grace, and grace for all. Paul also used this phrase as a final word in some of his letters (1 Corinthians 16:23, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:28, 2 Thessalonians 3:18). In 2 Thessalonians 3:17-18, Paul even indicated that this signature - no doubt written with his own hand - was a mark that the letter was genuinely from him.  (DG)

·        "It is a good word for the close of this marvelous picture of God's gracious provision for his people in earth and heaven." (Robertson)

·        "Whatever you may miss, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be always with you. In whatsoever points you or any of us may fail, may we never come short of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Spurgeon)

 

Psalm 84:11  For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Psalm 8:9  O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!
