God’s Grace

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” – Galatians 1:3

In his book “The Grace and Truth Paradox: Responding with Christlike Balance”, Christian author Randy Alcorn writes the following:
“Before I spoke at a conference, a soloist sang one of my favorite songs, “Amazing Grace.”

It was beautiful. Until she got to the tenth word. “Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a soul like me!” My heart sank. The word wretch had been edited out! I thought about John Newton, the songwriter.

This former slave trader, guilty of the vilest sins, knew he was a wretch. And that’s what made God’s grace so “amazing.” Mind-boggling. Knockdown awesome.

If we’re nothing more than morally neutral “souls,” do you see what that does? It guts grace.”

It is by God’s grace that we are saved. And it is by His grace we face today and tomorrow.

Praise the Lord for His grace and love towards you.

“Between here and heaven, every minute that the Christian lives will be a minute of grace.” – Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” – Ephesians 2:6-7
