The Gift of Grace "Grace is the gift of Christ, who exposes the gulf which separates God and man, and, by exposing it, bridges it."Karl Barth
God showers us with his precious gifts even when we don't deserve them 
Our Christian faith leads us to believe that when it comes to God's "Gift of Grace." We see this as an awesome gift which is given to us through a covenant of provision 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.
Christian Beliefs Your Situation Is Only Temporary
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 God's "Gift of Grace" have you really looked at your situation when compared to others? 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? You must remember that because of God's "Gift of Grace" your situation is only temporary and it could be far worse than what it currently is.
Christian Beliefs Don't Give Up Hope 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 things like "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?"
Christian Beliefs Unconditional Acceptance
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 are always stealing. Maybe they are mean, hateful and abusive to their spouse and others. Will you be quick to condemn them? 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's able to give us unconditional love, package with complete forgiveness. These conditions with God will always be there, 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.
Christian Beliefs I'm So Thankful
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.
