Because of total depravity, you and I were desperate for God's grace before we were saved. Because of total depravity, you and I remain desperate for God's grace even after we're saved.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even those of us who have tasted the radical saving grace of God find it intuitively difficult not to put conditions on grace.
Thankfully, God's restraining grace keeps even the worst of us from being utterly depraved. The worst people who have ever lived could've been worse.
The word 'grace' means after we must have done everything humanly possible, we must leave the issue with God. That is grace.
Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved.
We all need grace. We all need Christ.
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 grace happens, we receive not a nice compliment from God but a new heart. Give your heart to Christ, and he returns the favor.
May the perfect grace and eternal love of Christ our Lord be our never-failing protection and help.
God's grace is at its best in weakness, so we need never fear our weakness. In fact, these weaknesses will determine in what way we shall glorify God for all eternity.
Grace is a much more accurate word to use when dealing with the state of human existence. God gives us unmerited favor through Jesus Christ, and since Adam and Eve, our lives have depended on it.
