Grace--an undeserved favor or gift; the undeserving forgiveness, kindness and mercy that God gives us.
Romans 6:14
Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God's grace.
2Corinthians 4:15
All of these things are for your benefit. And as God's grace brings more and more people to Christ, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.
Jonah 2:8
"Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
Galatians 2:21
I am not one of those who treats the grace of God as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there was no need for Christ to die.
2John 1:3
May grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God our Father and from Jesus Christ his Son, be with us who live in truth and love.
Revelations 22:21
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
Grace. . .Grace. . .Grace
I am a sinner. I need God's grace.
I want to explain grace in a way that people who don't know Christ would understand. . .but i struggle. . . Before I knew Christ I would have already stopped reading. So I am not sure what I can say to keep you reading and convince you that you too need God's grace.
I have so many things that I struggle with. . .I yell at my kids too much, I say mean things to my husband sometimes, I judge people sometimes, and there is more but I will stop there. The point is that at the end of the day I cannot hold on to this stuff I have to understand that I have been given the gift of grace. I need to go to sleep in prayer that I will do better tomorrow, that I am not perfect and I never will be. I need to be thankful for all the amazing things that God has granted me. . .my beautiful children, an amazing husband, a roof over my head, food to eat and water to drink, I get to see the sunrise and set everyday if I choose to and these things are gifts from God. But right along side of these gifts He also has given me grace and I NEED IT!!! I need His grace every single day. . . .every single day.
alright thats all I got for tonight. . .sweet dreams. . .peace and grace be with you!
always, momma avila
