Unlimited Grace

DAY 7 OF 14

 What is Grace? 

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise, grace is no longer grace (Romans 11:6, NASB). 

 Grace is mentioned about 130 times in the New Testament alone. Paul begins and ends each of his epistles with it. It turned the western world upside down in the sixteenth century – we call this pivotal event the Reformation. 

Grace gives hope to the hopeless, joy to the sorrowing, faith to the faithless, and life to the dying. The word charis (“grace”) comes from a root meaning "to be joyful," and the word is always associated with happiness and joy.  

Grace means that God is for us even when we are against Him. Grace refers to the active love of God streaming continually and generously as sunshine from the sun. Augustine said it is not grace unless it is gratis, that is free. The word “grace” carries the meaning of generous gifts which have to do with redemption and all that goes with it. 

Grace is a word set in contrast to law, works, and human merit (Romans 11:6). However, it is only when you understand that grace is essentially for the graceless that you can taste its sweetness (John 3:17; John 15:2; Matthew 12:31; John 6:37).  

Where do you need grace in your life?  How do you personally experience this free grace from God in your life? 

There could have been no grace whatsoever for us but for the fact that God the Son volunteered to take our place and redeem us: Grace... came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17).
