I don't know how many of us have really stopped to think about Gods Grace and just what exactly the definition of it is. I know that I just started to ponder the subject a little less than a week ago. But I use the term grace period to help me understand.
In my bible the definition of grace is the undeserved love and salvation God gives. I think that's AMAZING! I mean think about it. It's like getting gum from somebody in class, But like a cabillion-trillion-infinite times better! I mean I get excited just getting some Juicy Fruit. But I'm over joyed that my God loves me, even though he doesn't need too. But even futher more, he sent his son to die for us! He DIED for us! So that our sins may be forgiven and we may rejoice in heaven! That's ridiculous.
Ephesians 2:4-5: 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Isn't that awesome? God basically brought us back to life. And if you are reading this you weren't even alive yet, but you were still as good as dead. That is, until Jesus died with you in mine. With (insert your name here) in mind.
Romans 5: 20-21: 20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Isn't it amazing how grace just beats out everything? I mean, sin is a powerful controller. But Grace is the mightier! All that I can really think is praise God to the highest!
