Grace isn’t something that i immediately accepted, i heard about it while listening in church and i now that grace is mentioned many times in the Bible, but when i started to allow it to have it’s place in my life, that’s when i started to change.
Grace is what God gives to us not based upon anything we can do to earn or achieve or work for, it’s completely free.
Because we live in a society that rewards hard work, or if we achieve something then we can say we’ve had some part to play, but grace doesn’t turn up in our lives because of anything we have to offer God, it’s all based upon what Jesus Christ did on our behalf, completely independant of what you or i can do.
Grace is God’s kindness that’s shown to us, regardless of our behaviour, good or bad and grace is available to every person on this planet. In fact, it was already waiting here long before we were even born, and when we turned up, then we discovered it.
Grace is the thing that causes us to put our faith in God. You or i wouldn’t believe the gospel if it wasn’t for the grace that God supplies to us.
It then brings to you, a different identity because now you know that God loves and likes you, then you have a different opinion about who you are, and that opinion of yourself is not based upon what you have in the bank, where you live, what others think about you, no, it’s all to do what God thinks about you which is always good.
