It's a good read even if you don't believe in my Jesus GRACE is ______.

Grace
I once believed that grace was something that I had to earn
If I do everything on this checklist of grace, I'll obtain it by days end
I'll work my whole life trying to pay back, that which was already freely given
I'll collect all my good deeds in a savings account and try to pay off a debt unpayable
Like here!!! Take it all, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, a thousand forgive me's and confessions trying to earn that grace back, when I was forgiven at the very first forgive me.
GRACE
I once believed that GRACE was something I HAD to earn.....
Then I realized how insulting it was to try to pay off something that was freely given
I mean how would you feel if you LOVED someone so much that you would give them what you knew, YOU KNEW to be the greatest gift to give and they REFUSED it!?
Like what? YOU BETTER TAKE THIS GIFT!
Pretty insulting, huh?
I once thought that sinning willy nilly would be the epitome of CHEAPENING grace until this light sparked in my heart and I got it!!! I got it!!! GRACE!!!!
To refuse to accept GRACE is to cheapen GRACE!
IT'S LIKE you're saying, HEY JESUS!!!! Your death on the cross, wasn't enough!
Yeah, yeah, you gave up your life for me when I might have been one of the very people who nailed you to that cross.
Yeah YEAH, you LOVED even those who wanted to HUNT you down and have you crucified as soon as possible, that you would tell them over and over and over and over, believe in me, and you will have ETERNAL life.
Even if you KNEW full well that all they wanted was for you to die.......................
You still loved them, and DIED for them.....
BUT still JESUS, that can't possibly enough.....Here let me do all these things to earn this GRACE!
Dude, you can't earn a gift, you don't do anything to deserve a gift, it is just given to you.
HE GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU!
One of the last words Jesus said before he died was it is FINISHED!!!
It is FINISHED... That means HE DIED FOR ALL OF YOUR SIN!
From a little small white lie, to murder.
Sin is SIN in God's eyes....And Jesus DIED for all of it.
Why? Because you ever did anything to deserve it? NOPE.
Because HE LOVED YOU SO MUCH!!! That He would die for you, so that you would have life and have it abundantly, not just for the years on this planet that you will walk, but for all of ETERNITY!
Stop getting so stuck and caught up in this rule game and this sin thing....
Instead GET YOUR EYES STUCK ON JESUS and JUST how much HE absolutely LOVES you.
Get stuck on his indescribable GRACE.
The more you're stuck on Jesus, the more you'll fall in love with Him. The more you fall in LOVE with Jesus, the less you will find yourself sinning.
Know why? Well for one, HIS LOVE WILL TRANSFORM you, and well second, who CHEATS on someone they absolutely without a doubt are head over heals and madly in love with?
No one ever?
Good.
You're right, no one.
Grace isn't just a principle.. Grace isn't just a noun....Grace is a person....Grace is Jesus.
