Grace is the voice that
calls us to change and gives us the power to pull it off.
Max Lucado, Grace, p.8
It never gets old. The concept of GRACE goes deeper all the time
I stop to examine it. My prayer is that
more people will see God’s grace lived out in front of them so much that they
can only embrace it.
We’ve learned from beginning
to the end of our Bibles that God has chosen to deal with people in grace. His grace changes us. His grace draws up to Him. His grace is being presented to us in so many
ways that many of them have missed us.
Maybe we are looking, but something is in the way.
Here are a few of the things
that I have taken my focus.
Grace isn't a little prayer you chant
before receiving a meal. It's a way to live. The law tells me how crooked I am.
Grace comes along and straightens me out. Dwight L. Moody
God's grace turns out men and women
with a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, not milksops. Oswald
Chambers
Grace is love that cares and stoops and
rescues. John R. W. Stott
Grace is the action of God
turned toward the people He so desperately loves. These inspiring quotes open up our thinking
to understand more of God’s thoughts and action toward us.
Grace means that God does
something for me; law means that I do something for God. God has certain holy
and righteous demands which he places upon me: that is law. Now if law means
that God requires something of me for their fulfillment, then deliverance from
law means he no longer requires that from me, but himself provides it.
Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life, p.155-6.
Take some time
today in prayer. Search for yourself
points of grace and even the Scripture where God builds His case or defines the
purpose and place of God given grace!
Romans 6:14 NLT
Sin is no longer your master, for you
no longer live under the requirements of
the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
All good is born in
prayer, and all good springs from it. Charles H.
Spurgeon
Titus 2:11 NLT
For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing
salvation to all people.
