The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Grace is Christianity’s best gift to the world! It’s a force stronger than vengeance, stronger than racism, stronger than hate. Nothing has the power to change us from within like the freedom that comes through grace. And grace has very practical outworking in our lives. A greater appreciation for God’s gifts Those who claim the freedom God offers gain an appreciation for the gifts that come with life: the free gift of salvation, life, laughter, music, beauty, friendship and forgiveness. Less time and energy being critical or concerned about other’s choices When you begin to operate in the context of grace and freedom, you become increasingly less petty. You will allow others room to make their own decisions in life, even though you may choose otherwise. A grace-full Christian is one who looks at the world and others through “grace-tinted lenses.” More tolerant and less judgmental When you are so involved in your own pursuit of grace, you’ll no longer lay guilt trips on those with whom you disagree. A giant step toward maturity As your world expands, thanks to an awakening of your understanding of grace, your maturity will enlarge. You will become more like Jesus and you will never be the same! PRAYER: Lord, I don’t want to live any longer in the same old ways. Help me to become more like Jesus.
