As members of the Body of Christ, we complain about so many things, even though we’ve been given life eternal. As His people, we need to renew our vision, and to be busy about eternal matters.
What is grace? The grace of God says you serve Him because you’re saved, not in order to be saved. God’s grace says you love people because you’re saved, and not in order to be saved. You’re not trying to keep a legalistic system, you’re responding to a system of love and peace. Grace is what God gives you out of the goodness of His heart, not because of the perfection of your heart. Grace is a pleasant surprise. Grace is a kind gesture. Grace is something you did not expect. It’s something you certainly could never earn, but it’s something you would never turn down. Grace reveals that I am more wretched than I could have fathomed or admitted even to myself. Grace reveals that I am loved far more than I would have ever thought possible, let alone hoped for. Always remember that Jesus has demonstrated repeatedly that His “grace is deeper than your sins.”
