Abundant Grace

 

     Abundant grace is God’s greatest gift. He offers us what we do not deserve. Christ became the Son of man and equally the Son of God. His grace overflows as we believe. That’s it! The Jews were given the law, and it was impossible to follow.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-and this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God-not by works so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

     We know how it is. We strive for obedience, holy and pure. We feel guilty at the slightest mistake, the little white lie, the thoughts about others, the gossip, the addiction, and on and on it goes. Guilt surfaces for not serving the Lord, for missing church, for holding a grudge. And He continues to give us grace upon grace.

     He is there when we fall. He is there when we slip. He is there cheering us on when we work through our fear. He is cheering when we defend His name. Let His grace wash over you again and again. He is our living water and the bread of life. Let your spirit be filled with Him and relax in the freedom to follow Him.

Father,

It is only through Your gift of grace we can be saved. It is through Jesus. He died on the cross for us and rose again. We can’t earn it or work hard enough to gain it. We just accept it. Thank you.

In Jesus name,

Amen
