God's grace

27 June 2012     

  

Romans 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

There is no power like the power of the gospel, no human can prevent the grace of God being applied by God in their lives. All men are sinners and have offended God in so many ways that if we were confronted by them and accused of them we stand with no defence. Yet God in His grace brings us into His love, not because of who we are but because of who He is. He is our Saviour and without Him we are lost forever. Yet in all of this in order for us to begin to understand this in our lives is to have the faith in believing God.

It is God who comes into our lives and when we confess how much we need Him, and how unworthy we are to receive from Him, He washes us clean, He makes us pure, through the blood of Jesus Christ. We can live by religious laws and rules, some found in Scriptures, some found in the traditions of men, some self imposed, but these lead to death and not the freedom that God has given us through His grace. For sinners as we are, Jesus Christ died, so that we may freely receive what we do not deserve, God’s grace.

Be encouraged today to praise God for His undeserved grace.

 

David

 

Point to ponder: God’s grace cannot be earned by keeping rules or the law.

Question to consider: Are you under grace or the law?
