My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When grace happens, we receive not a nice compliment from God but a new heart. Give your heart to Christ, and he returns the favor.
Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.
Whether we're happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.
Adoration is caring for God above all else.
I testify that this work in which we're engaged is the Lord's work. I've felt His sustaining influence.
God's grace is amazing! We're saved by grace - God's undeserved favor - and we live by grace, which is also God's power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it's all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely.
When we imply that our works are for God and not our neighbor, we perpetuate the idea that God's love for us is dependent on what we do instead of on what Christ has done.
Yes, I have my standpoint, but I try to follow the life of Christ and he was very non-judgmental. It's not my position to judge. It's God's position to judge.
The gospel announces that God doesn't relate to us based on our feats for Jesus, but Jesus' feats for us.
Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.
