Opening Scriptures
- Ephesians 2:8 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”
- James 4:6 – “But He gives more grace. Therefore, it says, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’”
What Is Grace?
- Grace is unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification.
- It is a manifestation of favor—especially from God, our superior—not because we deserve it, but because He chooses to love us.
Grace isn’t just a religious word we toss around on Sundays. It is the heartbeat of the Gospel.
Grace Meets Us Where We Are
God’s grace finds us in our lowest places—not when we’ve earned it, but when we desperately need it.
It lifts us up in our brokenness, covering our shame, our past, and our guilt with the blood of Jesus.
Romans 5:8 (NIV) – “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Many believe they must “fix themselves” before coming to God…
But grace says: Come just as you are.
Grace Is Not About Performance
God’s love isn’t based on:
- How good we’ve been
- How polished we look
- How long we’ve been in church
Grace doesn’t wait for perfection—it meets us in our imperfection.
Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Grace Transforms
Grace begins the moment we come to Jesus. But it doesn’t stop there.
It walks with us daily:
- When we are weak, grace strengthens.
- When we stumble, grace restores.
- When we feel unworthy, grace reminds us: You are chosen.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Let This Truth Sink In Today:
- You are loved.
- You are forgiven.
- You are accepted.
Not because of what you’ve done,
But because of what Christ has done for you.
Let Grace Be Your Lifestyle
- Live in it.
- Share it.
- Extend it.
Let grace shape the way you see yourself and how you love others.
Grace is not just a gift—it’s a lifestyle.
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your amazing grace—so deep, so undeserved, and so freely given.
Thank You for loving us when we fall short, lifting us when we are weak, and forgiving us when we fail.
Help us to walk daily in that grace. Teach us to extend it to others—to be patient, kind, and full of mercy, just like You.
May Your grace not only cover us but transform us, so we may live as reflections of Your love in this world.
We rest in the promise that Your grace is sufficient, and we move forward with grateful hearts, knowing You go with us.
In the powerful name of Jesus,
Amen.
