GRACE - on demand 3

GRACE-Do we give it as well as we get it?  Actually, the bigger question is - DO WE GET IT?  I don't mean receive it, I mean understand and comprehend it.  Too many don't "get it".  In our churches, in the Christian community at large, my personal experience has been that far too many have a misunderstanding of Gods grace.  They want it, they yearn for it, they hope for it, they are happy to receive it, BUT they just don't grasp the true meaning of it.

Grace has an elegance about it, a beauty that cannot be recreated in any other form.  Grace is Gods extended generosity towards us.  Grace is Gods accommodation of us.  As we are, where we stand.  Grace is so generous, that it demands NOTHING from us in order for us to receive it.
We've all heard the words, many, many times.  Now STOP - think about them
Romans 3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus 
Romans 5:2  through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God
Romans 5:15: But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
Romans 11:6  And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

and the clear verses in Ephesians chapter 2:1 -10
 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,  in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.


GRACE is not a license to SIN, it is FREEDOM from sin!!  God is so gracious, so GENEROUS toward His children that He pours out GRACE without boundaries, in order that you are covered.  FREELY covered.  Once you confess Jesus as Lord, the gifts and grace and mercy and LOVE of God are YOURS!  "He whom the Son has set free is FREE INDEED."  Trust it, believe it, receive it!


You have GENEROUSLY received grace, now generously share it with others!  That's the beauty of Almighty God.  he gives, you give it away, He supplies an unending resource for continual giving!  
LIVE DELIBERATELY!
