…but if it were, we would all be on equal footing! Nobody deserves the love God has shown us.
“Everyone has turned away,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.” – Psalm 53:3
Why is it some people act as if they somehow earn the respect and affection of a holy God? Perhaps it is simply human nature that drives us to compare ourselves with those around us and say things like: ”I’m not as bad as…” or ”I am more committed than…“.
Thank God that’s where Grace comes in. Grace so amazing that it will blow your mind and turn logic on its head. Grace that confounds the senses and delivers the impossible! Best of all…IT’S FREE!
Grace that is earned ceases to be grace. I’m going to type that again to be sure you read it right: Grace that is earned ceases to be grace. But therein lies the beauty – it can’t be earned but it is offered freely to anyone who will receive it! That’s some pretty Amazing Grace!
I hope that encourages you today. I hope you know the security and peace brought only through experiencing the grace of God!
