    The Grace of God

    January 12, 2011

    What is grace?

    It is the unmerited favor of God on those who totally do not deserve one ounce of His goodness. Remember what Paul told the church at Ephesus? "For by GRACE are ye saved through faith..."

    There is NOTHING that you can do to earn God's respect or love. On the same note, you do not INHERIT this love either. Just because you have some outward action of religion (going to a church, owning a Bible, being an American, etc.) does not make you a partaker of God's grace!

    Do we think that God will look past our wicked lifestyles and love of sin and just excuse them at the day of Judgement because of who we are or who we are affiliated with?

    He will not - except that Grace has done the work of cleansing us through the blood of Jesus Christ. 

    Be thankful for God's grace. You can't earn it, you can merit it, you can't buy it and you can't on your own find it unless the Lord of the Universe opens your eyes, plows your heart and grants you faith to believe. (Ephesians 2: 8 & 9)

    Reader, you don't deserve Him - but He has been made available to you by God's GRACE.
