Do we as Christians truly believe that God is a God of grace? There are times when we may need to ask ourselves that difficult question.
We believe that God created the whole world and universe. That means that God created everything that exists in this world. We would have absolutely nothing if God had not already given it to us. And what's more, God created it and gave it to us because He loves us beyond reason or doubt.
That takes the discussion of grace to a whole new level. We are completely dependent upon God for everything. We wouldn't have house, home, food, land, animals, spouse, if it weren't for God's grace in providing such things. So how could we ever start thinking that God owes us something, or that we have done something to deserve God's goodness toward us?
Many want to say that proper teachings and doctrine, proper worship, proper "Christian" action makes us pleasing to God. The truth of the Bible is that even those things come as a gift from God. Living out our faith in God is something that is even a gift from God, by His grace.
How is God's grace flowing into your life today? The answers are likely beyond number.
