The Impact of Grace
Titus 2:11,12 That is the way we should live, because God’s grace has come. That grace can save everyone. It teaches us not to live against God and not to do the bad things the world wants to do. It teaches us to live on earth now in a wise and right way—a way that shows true devotion to God.
When someone shows you some sort of kindness, even just the smallest thing, how does that change how you feel toward them, how you see them, how you treat them?
Without doubt, a simple act of kindness born out of love is the most powerful, positive agent of change in all the universe – even more so when the recipient knows beyond any shadow of doubt that they don’t deserve it.
We have a name for this undeserved kindness. It’s called grace.
And there’s no greater kindness, none more undeserved, none born out of greater love, than the grace of God in sending His Son to die a brutal death on that Cross to pay for our sin, yours and mine, so that by believing in this Jesus, we can have the free gift of life eternal.
And that’s meant to change how we feel toward God, how we see Him, how we react to Him.
Titus 2:11,12 That is the way we should live, because God’s grace has come. That grace can save everyone. It teaches us not to live against God and not to do the bad things the world wants to do. It teaches us to live on earth now in a wise and right way—a way that shows true devotion to God.
With all that I am, I implore you to wrap your heart around the grace of God in sending Jesus to die that your sins may be forgiven, and to rise again to bring you a new life that’ll go on forever.
Allow this unmerited kindness to transform you, how you live from this moment forth, because God’s grace has come … for you.
That’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.
