Grace means:
To get something that you do not deserve;
Unmerited favor
John 1:14
“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.“
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works,
so that no one can boast.”
You’re standing with your list of regrets that you can’t get past yourself
You wish so bad that you could make the mark
But your dreams are stuck on a shelf
And all you wanna do is turn back time
And redeem the days you lost
But shame keeps calling out your name
The chains refuse to fall
But it’s not over, it’s not over
This is the moment grace walks in
With arms wide open, arms wide open
To tell you this is not the end
When doubt is strong and your will is weak to even believe again
That’s when grace, that’s when grace walks in
You once believed that you could change the world
With a fire deep in your soul
Your faith was strong and the call was clear
You were sure you could make a new road
Like so many the flame grew dark
And your confidence hit the wall
There always seems to be a lot of big questions
But the answers seem so small
Just in the nick of time
Right there to save our lives
Grace is greater
Grace is greater
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
“Three times I (Paul)
pleaded with the Lord
to take it (the thorn in my flesh) away from me.
But He said to me,
‘My grace is sufficient for you,
for My power is made perfect in weakness.’
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses,
so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
2 Peter 1:2
“Grace and peace be yours in abundance
through the knowledge of God
and of Jesus our Lord.”
John 1:16
“From the fullness of His grace
we have all received one blessing after another.”
Romans 3:23-24
“…for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
and all are justified freely
by His grace
through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.”
2 Corinthians 8:9
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich,
yet for your sake He became poor,
so that you through His poverty might become rich.”
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
“May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself
and God our Father,
who loved us
and by His grace
gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
encourage your hearts and strengthen you
in every good deed and word.”
Grace is at the heart of the Gospel message!
To accept God’s grace…
Means to live in thankful response!
We don’t deserve God’s grace!
Yet, He has chosen to give it to us!
We should be moved to give our all to Him!
Amen!!
