I Timothy 1
The grace of God is that divine force which reaches and transforms the least likely of people.
It’s the blessing of God poured out on unworthy people.

leads to sincere expressions of love,
and Jesus is the focus of our praise.

Paul describes Jesus as: an unbelievably merciful Savior, specifically targeting the worst and the least in order to grant royalty and honor to the least likely, who then become the most appreciative and render to God the highest praise.
GRACE is the most powerful force known to man.
My “NEXT STEP” with God this week is to…
Want GRACE?
-Admit your own unworthiness.
-Believe that Jesus gave His life for you anyway.
-Recognize what that says about God’s heart for you.
-Ask for His grace & forgiveness – and receive it.
Got GRACE?
-Write out your story following Paul’s format in I Timothy 1.
-In a few sentences, describe who you were before Christ (your specific sin tendencies), who you are now (include current weaknesses), and what God has done for you in spite of all that (even because of it).
-Read what you wrote every day this week.
-Ask God for a chance to share it with someone.
