Grace can never be earned...do no ever forget this
Grace is what God has done in response to the sin and failure of humans. God is perfect love, and therefore, has found a way to deal with the consequence of sin. He has provided a way of restoration to life. This action of God for us is a free gift and can not be earned.
Jesus is the perfect expression of grace…
The lavish grace (kind, undeserved favor) of God lies at the foundation of his plan for forgiveness and restoration. In His beautiful undeserved kindness, God sent his Son, anc created make all the riches of heaven and eternity available to his creation…
All this, in spite our disobedience and rebellion and sin. The riches of heaven are a freely given. Someone has said, “grace is doing good for someone when there is no compelling reason to do so and every reason not to.”
Grace is the love God’s in action…
“So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ. God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this: it is a gift from God.” (Eph 2:7-8 NLT)
