What comes to mind when I say the word Grace? The definition for grace is the kindness and love that God freely gives to those who do not deserve it. It is by this grace that we are saved, and it is by this grace that we sustained. Grace also carries the idea of a place or position, a place into which we are brought. That is into the presence of God. The person who is justified stands…..

1. In God’s presence
2. Before God redeemed
3. In God’s favor
4. In the privileges of God
5. In the promises of God

This grace that I am speaking of is a distinguishing mark of Christianity from all other man made religions. In false religions enough is never enough. False religions require more sacrifice, more achievements, more suffering, and more improvements. But the Christian enjoys peace with God by His grace.

Scriptures for Application:

2Timothy 2:1 How is a Christian to be strengthened?

Revelation 22:21 What is to be with all Christians?

Action: Praise the Lord for His grace; strive to live your life by His grace and power!!!
