GRACE – God’s favor, which is totally undeserved. I’m not sure any of us are fully aware of the magnitude of this gift that God freely offers to us all. It’s like being sentenced to death only to receive a reprieve at the last possible moment. It’s like being given the power to change the resulting consequences for a big mistake made. It’s like being lifted out of quicksand by a strong-armed man. It’s all that; however, in reality nothing compares to the grace that lies before us. In fact I don’t think there are words in any language that adequately describes or defines the grace of God.
God’s grace is motivated by his deep, abiding, never-ending, everlasting love for his creation. Nothing compares to such a love. It is infinite and eternal. Even the deepest, most passionate worldly love ends over time, but this could never be true of God. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning of all things and the end of all things, therefore as long as God IS his love shall exist and so will his grace.
You are worthy of his love and favor because he says you are and not because of anything you have or could ever do. Isn’t that spectacular news? Now go live like you believe it! rlkeller
