Let Me Introduce You To Grace…

 

“But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.””

‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭1:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Whatever you need today, remember - Jesus already paid the ultimate sacrifice. All you need to do is trust Him. Look to the Son, for He is risen! His grace is ready and waiting. 

I once heard a preacher describe grace as unmerited favor—favor you don’t deserve and didn’t earn. When we think about what Jesus did for us, that He gave everything for us, we realize that it was God’s grace in action for us. We don’t deserve it and there’s nothing we can do to earn it. He gives it to us freely!

In 1 Corinthians 15:10 NLT, the apostle Paul says it like this: “But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.”

Paul again perfectly sums this up in Ephesians 2:8 NLT: “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” 

A gift! God’s grace is a gift.

When we embrace the grace that comes only from Jesus, it changes the game! In that surrender we stop trying to earn God’s love and instead respond to His grace with a life of worship. It’s then that we see His grace cover our entire lives.

So this morning, let me introduce you to #Grace. You may come as you are but you will not leave as you were. That’s what grace will do for you!
