Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p2

God morning everybody! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday February 9, 2010. Well folks we’re continuing on our topic of Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy. Today we’re scratching the surface on grace. I love the definition that my Compact Bible Dictionary, Nelson’s Series, gives. It states that grace is the “Favor or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it and in spite of what that person deserves.” Wow. That really puts things in perspective a little bit doesn’t it? Just think about for a minute, without God’s grace you would not have been able to get that new job, promotion, or raise. Without God’s grace you would not have been approved for that loan that you know you did not qualify for. Without God’s grace you would have woke up this morning in a sane mind. I mean we would have to do everything perfect if we didn’t have grace available to us. But luckily Jesus came to plead our case so though His grace coupled with our repentance we are saved. I mean image all of the times you KNOW that you disobeyed God’s instruction, when you got fooled by the enemy, or when you hurt His feelings. Thank God for His grace. Thank God that the Grace through Jesus wipes the slate clean every time. So lets not take God’s grace for granted. For the absence of it is His wrath. And we all know how terrifying His wrath it. So I don’t know about you, but I’m going to appreciate His grace and the sacrifice Jesus made for us to have it. Please read Romans 3:22-24 KJV

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
