Grace - What Is It (Really)?
Grace – it is the most amazing, yet most misunderstood word in the
Christian vocabulary. Most people are acquainted with Francis Bacon’s simple description of grace: 'Grace is getting something you don't deserve; and mercy is not getting something that you do deserve.' That indeed was what Christ accomplished on the cross: taking all of mankind’s sin upon Himself, dying in our place, securing our eternal salvation and rightfully taking back what man relinquished in the Garden. However, that was only the beginning, just a peek behind the curtain of God’s exciting & mind boggling plan. A magnificent masterpiece of such sheer genius - greater than we could have ever imagined! The grace that was revealed to the Apostle Paul, the grace that he spent 2/3 of the New Testament describing, the grace that he taught, the grace that he lived and that he ultimately died to share... THIS grace, once understood in its entirety, is SO RADICAL that it transforms the most hardened heart, liberates the most enslaved addict, emboldens the most timid soul... and it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with what YOU do or DON’T do! The only thing YOU do have to do? Just accept it. Period. |
