The Cost of Grace ✧ღϠ✞✞✞₡ღ✧ ✫*๑۩๑۩๑✫✫*๑۩๑۩๑✫ Many people mistake God’s grace for leniency or permissiveness. They seem to think the Lord looks upon our sin with a kind of easy-going tolerance, saying, “Oh well, they sinned again, but it’s not really such a bad sin. I’ll just look the other way and pretend not to notice.” ♝※♝༒*♔*༒ ♝※♝ But that is not how His grace works. God does not wink at sin. If you think He simply lets our sins slide unnoticed, you are making the same mistake Adam and Eve made in the Garden of Eden and the same mistake Cain made when he killed his brother in the field. Each of them thought they could sin without God noticing. They were wrong. ♝※♝༒*♔*༒ ♝※♝ Nothing escapes God’s sight. When we fall short of His glory, there is a price to pay. Jesus paid that price for us, and we can choose to honor His sacrifice, or we can choose to abuse His precious gift of grace. ❖✞❖❖✞❖ Grace is neither lenient nor permissive. Grace is not free, nor is it cheap. Grace is the costliest, most precious commodity in the universe. It cost God the infinitely precious lifeblood of His only Son. ❖✞❖❖✞❖ Prayer: Father, help me to always remember that sin is serious and You paid an incredible price for me to receive Your grace. Thank You for giving Your life for me, that I may be purified of all sin. Amen. ~Selected~ M.Y.~ ❖✞❖❖✞❖ “For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace” (Romans 6:14).❖✞❖❖✞❖
