The result of Fall, in the Garden of Eden, was
the loss of communion with God through the Holy Spirit. As a result we broke
away from the real source of life and blessedness, and is in a condition of
spiritual death, Eph. 2:1,5, 12; 4:18. We tried to quench our thirst on our own
and found nothing but mud and mire, and the filthy sediments of a standing lake. Life becomes harder
and our range of vision is limited to see the horizon and the rainbow!
Hebrew words:
חֵן (chen) -- Grace, favor, charm. Word Origin: Derived from
the root חָנַן (chanan), which means "to be gracious" or "to
show favor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5485 (χάρις, …[1]
Learn the Hebrew meaning
of grace (hen) and how it differs from mercy
(rachum) in the Bible. Understanding God’s
grace in the Bible starts with unpacking the Hebrew word for “grace,” khen (חֵן).
(To pronounce this word, say “hen” while clearing your throat a little at the
beginning.)[2]
The
Hebrew word "maqor" primarily refers to a source or fountain,
often used metaphorically to describe the origin or wellspring of something. It
can denote a physical spring of water or be used symbolically to represent the
source of life, wisdom, or blessing![3]
Often, in life it is harder to practice what we believe. Our hearts can be the unexhausted fountain of sin, a fount of corruption, flowing on in every pattern of behavior, as written, I was conceived in sin, Psa. 51:5. Satan’s darts can quickly inflame us, and the shield we hold may easily drop from our hands. Sin will take one farther, in the momentum of crescendo, which is a steady increase in force and intensity, than one initially wanted to be in.
Hardened heart has the capacity to stop one
from living an abundant life in this part of eternity! No one is exceptional to
the reach of our Saviour, as He descended below all things and is in a Divine
position to lift each one of us. He is able to claim one from the darkest of
abyss.
The fount represents the source or wellspring.
Grace means God’s undeserved favour or blessing and often signifying a place or
being from Divine grace which flows freely to mankind. Symbolically, this
represent the source of wisdom, life and blessing. This fount that flows
from the throne room of God, clear as crystal, is unlike any another fount,
which can wells up within us, bringing mercy, and life-giving love. One can celebrate and carouse in this
fount and find freedom in Christ!
