Grace

Grace is all I need
Have you really thought about what that means?

Grace, essentially, is a gift that we don’t deserve. It’s the highest order and highest valued present that we can ever get, all because it comprises of the death of the Son of God. No other death, not even yours or mine can ever match up to the worth of those forty over years of suffering, pain, anguish, torment and God becoming man.
Simply said, we don’t deserve this life we are living, entirely because we ought to be dead, crudely put. The punishment for sin, no matter how small, is death. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” [Romans 3:23]. God is holy, and sin is the total opposite of God. Hence, these two can never be together. So because of one man’s sin, humankind is completely and utterly separated from God. A life not linked to God, is no life at all, because Jesus is the tree of life.
Basically, when you are away from God, you are dead. Pastor Kee preached recently that we are in the land of the dead and we are trying to get to the land of the living. It’s only through Grace that we can get to that land of the living.
In my bible study, I learnt that salvation is predestined, for Paul said that God set him apart from birth. Doesn’t this suggest that Grace is given? That Grace is given to the chosen people? Then WHY must you take all this for granted? Do you not realise the implication that Grace is given to a select few and being one of the few, shouldn’t you feel something?
My friend, I write this article not to criticise, not to bash, not to threaten. But I write this out of compassion, of worry, of friendship. My prayer is that each and every one of you might learn something, that the Holy Spirit might open your eyes after reading this.
May God Bless You.
