God's Grace.....

So......what is Grace??

A favor rendered by one who need not do so; indulgence.

Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people.

The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God.

To honor or favor: You grace our table with your presence.

Music To embellish with grace notes.

“the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. A divinely given talent or blessing. The condition or fact of being favored by someone.”

Isn't God's grace amazing. We are sundeservedng many times yet He pours out blessing after blessing upon us. I can't even fathom His love that He would do so much for me. I think back of all the times I could have gone a different direction in life or did go that direction, yet His love followed me and guided me back to Him. How many times have I escaped death because of His sweet grace......His sweet love.

I found this little clip on His Grace......thought you might enjoy it too:

The gospel (good news) is a result of God's grace (Gal. 1: 6-9). Grace is presented as sufficient and Christians are called by grace (2 Cor. 12: 7-10, Gal. 1: 15). Man is saved by grace, the heart is established by grace, and we are justified by grace (Eph. 2: 5, 8, Heb. 13: 9, Tit. 3: 7). Moreover, we render acceptable service by grace and grace imparts everlasting consolation (Heb. 12: 28, 29, 2 Thes. 2: 16). God's grace also makes us better people and helps us in time of need (I Cor. 15: 9, 10, Heb. 4: 16).

Noah "found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Gen. 6: 8). The lowly are said to be favored with grace (Prov. 3: 34, I Pet. 5: 5). Jesus and Paul are expressly said to have experienced God's grace (Lk. 2: 40, I Cor. 15: 10). Also, all who love the Lord have God's grace bestowed upon them (Eph. 6: 24).

"Grace that is Greater than all our sin." That line always brings comfort to me.
