As the song goes, “ If your grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.” Well I am sinking. I may have been a competitive swimmer but not my best skill could get me out of this and I am so thankful for that.
G-d’s love is so powerful. His grace has saved me and it can save you. By grace we are saved, and by grace we can carry on. I have fallen so many times from our L-rd and our rock. Yet, He still stands there with open arms for me. Waiting for me to come back to Him. He never fails me and He never leaves me. At times where I have fallen, I often feel that I can not go back to Him because I am not worthy. I’m not. I’m not perfect, I sin on a regular basis just as everyone else.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says that exactly. By Grace we are saved and By Grace we can carry on. Being a good person is not the ticket to Heaven. Salvation isn’t a reward, it’s a gift. I often feel that is overlooked. I see it in myself and other people all the time. We think by being good people: going to church, bible study, helping the homeless, and posting on Facebook a nice bible verse will get us into Heaven. We are wrong.
So wrong.
Why must we share something to show we love G-d. He knows we do, we shouldn’t have to show him how much we love him when it is a convenient time. We should want to do it every day. Not because G-d is awesome, that’s the inevitable undeniable fact. G-d is awesome, we should want to show our love to Him because He did for us. Through His one and only son and the grace of Him, we are saved. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. WE . SIN. I can not stress that
enough. WE ARE SAVED. Grace is such a beautiful thing that no one deserves, but we got it. Want to know why? Because our creator wants to be able to see us happy. Our happiness comes through a relationship with Christ. A relationship that is so private and so wonderful that we get to spend every single day with our G-d. We spend it through diving into the word. Praising Him. Fellowshipping. Prayer.
Prayer is a powerful thing.
Something that we can do to speak our mind to G-d. Tell Him how we’re feeling. But most importantly, listen to Him.
By Grace we are saved.
You are saved.
I am saved.
By.
GRACE.
Something to thank G-d for every single day.
Something to be excited about.
Something to give us passion.
Something to allow us to live our lives.
And the one thing, that makes me love G-d more than anything in the world.
