Can you comprehend this kind of grace?

The greatest kindness was revealed at the cross. God extended grace to each of us. It was not just any grace. It was exceeding riches of grace in His kindness. Ephesians 2: 7 says: “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” Notice it was not just riches. It was exceeding riches. For me, riches means great abundance. But God didn’t just give us riches of grace. He gave us exceeding riches of grace. The word exceeding means: “To surpass, supereminent. To throw beyond the usual mark ” That means that whatever we think riches are, God took it to a level that we won’t ever really comprehend. His grace and kindness toward us is unfathomable. He loves us with a love that is perfect, pure and eternal. It is the greatest gift you will ever receive. So today, as you navigate through your daily chores, allow God’s grace, kindness and love to fill your heart and mind. His love is more powerful than any challenge you will ever face, and guess what, He is always with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you!

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”

He doesn’t condemn you!

I’ve noticed that many people in our society today are offended at the Gospel message because they feel it condemns them. They think that the God of the Bible is angry at them and and hates them. However, we all know John 3:16 where it says: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, so that whoever would believe in Him would not perish, but have eternal life.” This verse of course shows the opposite of hate and condemnation. But most people don’t read the next verse which says: “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:17). Note: God did not send Jesus to condemn the world! Did you read that? He sent Him so that through Him the world would be saved. Oh, if only we would understand the love of God. He sees us destroying each other and it grieves His heart. Today, God is still reminding everyone that He loves them and Jesus’ arms are still open wide waiting for us to come to Him so that He could deliver us from the power of darkness, and translate us to His Kingdom. Selah!

John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
