Grace (Part 1)

Grace (Part 1)

I believe one of the most common misunderstandings of the grace of God is, “Grace is God letting me get away with a few things.” That’s the furthest thought from the grace of God. The grace of God comes to us through Jesus Christ as a result of His sinless life and dying for us on Calvary’s hill. His grace is more than just God’s kindness and benevolence toward us.
-The grace of God is dynamic.
-The grace of God is God in action for our good.
-The grace of God is unmerited favor for all who believe and receive.
-The grace of God is sufficient for every need.
-The grace of God is beyond measure.
When Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:10, “By the grace of God I am what I am,” he was speaking about the empowering of the Holy Spirit that God in His grace supplies to each of us as we seek to live for Him. So keep in mind as we look at our responsibilities that we can carry out those responsibilities only by the grace of God. At the end of the day when all is said and done, we must attribute our faithfulness to the grace of God. Without we will surely falter and fail.
-Grace removes our past.
-Grace empowers our future.
-Grace covers the sins of the present.
-Grace promotes Spirit-filled living.
-Grace brings relief in the midst of your storms.
I am what I am in Christ because of grace.

There's more grace than you can imagine. Just let it work in your life!
