Christian Beliefs

Understand that there have been countless books, videos, and tapes done on the subject of God's grace.

In this article, I will point out a few examples and note some of the benefits when it comes to this "Gift of Grace."

For I believe, that my Christian faith; allows me to see things, in a more appreciative way -- when it comes to God's "Gift of Grace."

For I see this as an awesome gift, a privilege; which is given to us, through a covenant of great promises -- from our Heavenly Father.

I will try to use a few examples of how God uses His "Gift of Grace" in our lives. First, let's take a look at a person; who may be going through some type of struggle.

For example, you have God's children who are struggling to pay bills and are living stressful lives because of it. Are maybe, some of your friends leave you; and you start to find -- that you are depressed because of it. Maybe you are a little lonely, and feeling dejected; and disappointed on top of that.

But to get an ideal, of how God's "Gift of Grace" operates -- you have to really look at your situation, and compare it to others? For starters, have you compared it to the person who has been: laying ill, dying, and suffering in their bodies for several years?

Have you compared your situation, to the person who doesn't have a home to call their own? Maybe a person, who finds it hard to make friends; and will probably be a loner for the rest of their lives -- because of it? You must remember, when it comes to God's "Gift of Grace" your situation is only temporary and it could be far worse than what it currently is.

Let's look at another example? What about that friend, or relative; or your spouse, or child -- who refuses, to accept the Lord as their Saviour? Their hearts are hard and cold, the thought of them hearing anything from the Bible makes them cringe. On top of these things, they also have worldly mind sets.

You have prayed, and cried many times to God; hoping that they will see the light -- before it's too late. Now you have surrendered your hope, and have given up. Your thoughts are filled with negativity: "I guess they will never turn their lives over to the Lord" or, " All is lost, what have I done -- is it because of me Lord?"

But have you thought about yourself? Have you forgotten that you were once lost? If God could reach you in time, why not them? Have you forgotten about God's "Gift of Grace?"

What about the person who have embraced what the world has to offer? Their lifestyles: are harmful, unproductive, and deceitful towards others. Now every time you see this person, they're always stealing. Maybe they are: mean, hateful, and abusive to their spouse and others.

Will you be quick to condemn them? I know, it's hard to say. If you were to ask me personally. But this is why God's "Gift of Grace" is so powerful. God is able to give us unconditional love, package with complete forgiveness. These conditions with God will always be there, because they are always unconditional. But in order to activate them in our lives, we must repent; and turn away from our wicked ways, and accept Christ -- as our Lord and Saviour.

I thank God for His "Gift of Grace" that He gives to us so willing. I will never forget, where I was at -- when I was lost, and how far God has brought me. This will help me to remember, that this is a gift from God; and He doesn't have to give it. A lot of times, people take this gift for granted; and continue to push the max when it comes to their sins, and worldly ways.

Since tomorrow isn't promised to any of us, and with so much at stake. It doesn't make sense to gamble with something that is as valuable as your salvation and eternal existence. For if your salvation was compared to anything on this Earth, it would be considered -- priceless.
