What is it that distinguishes us Christians from all non believers? Tonight at Church we spent some time talking about Grace. What is Grace exactly? Do we all have Grace? Do we have be at a certain place in our walk with The Lord in order to experience the true effects of Grace. The Bible says Ephesians 4:7 ESV But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christs gift. Ephesians 2:8 ESV For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God We all were given Grace when we were saved, why dont we use it more often? If Grace is a gift why do we leave it unopened? Do we not feel worthy of the power that God has given us? Our empowerment to heal the blind or feed the hungry may not look like that of Jesus Christ, but through Grace we as Christians can accomplish more than any non believer. Doctors who are powered by the Grace of God, may be able to perform that surgery that was hopeless, or find cures, or know how to treat someone who no one else can treat. Businesses owned by Christians who actively use the Grace that God has given them are more successful, sustain recessions, and are more profitable...why because we are allowing God to be driving force in our endeavors. Pray always, seek Him in all decisions that you make, Glorify Him, seek to be Holy and walk with holiness, listen when He speaks to you, and know when you stray and come back to Him. You can take this and take action, and own the power that God has given through His Grace, or you can choose not to take action. That is the free will that God gave each of us. I promise life is so much easier, more fulfilling and less stressful when you allow His Grace to empower you. I have talked before about relying on Gods power rather than your own will power when it comes to making changes in your life with regards to your fitness and health. When it comes to your exercise and eating He will be here to support you, and help you as much as you let Him. The only time He can not help you is if you get stuck and then dont seek Him or shut Him out. I know that we are all going to hit road blocks and want to quit, the key is being honest with Him and not making yourself wrong for wanting to quit, but rather get committed to getting through it. If you miss a day of your work out its not the end of the world. Dont let that be an excuse to miss the next day or the week.
