I sang Amazing Grace growing up at church almost every Sunday. We hear the song on some T.V. commercials, sing it at funerals as well. What is so amazing about grace? What is grace? How does the Bible define grace? Are we saved by grace? How? Why do some have such a problem with believing that grace saves? What is it that grace does for people and for Christians? Does it motivate, provoke, work? If so how? Do you believe we are saved by grace? Why or why not? Does your church believe and preach the grace of God? Why or why not? How does your church show grace to others? Do churches grow, increase in spirituality and numerically when grace is accepted and lived out? Have you seen it? How? What has grace done for you? How can we demonstrate grace to those around us?

I think I would define it as God's act of love and kindness to us. Underserving mercy. I believe that I am saved by grace not work. Grace through faith. It is a gift. Given by God not because I'm good enough or work hard enough. It is a gift given because I can't do it on my own. It does motivate me to love Jesus more. Serve Jesus better or try at least. I think many have a hard time accepting grace because or believing we are saved by grace because of legalism and self-righteousness. Many want to earn it. Work for it. Do something to get it. Salvation can't be earned, or worked for, or obtained by self-effort. It is a gift.
ReplyDeleteI believe we are saved by the Grace of God. Not of Work.
