You Are More Than a Label預覽

Lose the Label: Marginalized

Culture brands us, labels our journey, forces platforms upon us, and asks us to put our stakes in the ground in search of finding our personal significance. We often point to people to give credit for their good work, to look important and noteworthy by their own merit. But I’m here to tell you today, friend, that we don’t have to measure up to the world’s standard. We never needed to, but rather we should humble ourselves to God’s grace, and He will lift us up in due time.

If you find yourself feeling like an outcast, you’ve come to the right Bible plan. God’s grace is such a place of security, love, and assurance. You can never be too weak, too messed up, or in too much trouble for Him. You are never too far from His grace; grace is EVER far-reaching! Ever healing! And there are no deal breakers when it comes to God and His grace-giving nature!

It’s His grace that defines us, gives us significance, and ends our search. It's grace that gives eternal assurance and security with love, truth, and freedom we can actualize. Responsibility and our response to God’s truth and grace should be taken seriously. The grace of God cost Him dearly: His own Son Jesus. When you accept His grace fully and completely, you’re liberated to see yourself celebrated. Your significance is settled by the cross of Christ. And the truth of Jesus is He never shuns or shames. 

Gain God’s truth: As Paul says in Romans 5:6, “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” That’s ALL mankind! We’ll come up short when it comes to grace—every time—but grace takes away what we couldn’t remove ourselves! When acknowledging grace and forgiveness, we accept Christ’s work on the cross as truth and our full debt as paid. That is enough for every weakness, flaw, lack, or label forced upon us. We’re held to the standards of truth and grace in tandem, bringing a balance of both. Truth is the foundation of faith and gives us perseverance to overcome. Grace makes the way possible! Grace, grace, what amazing grace. God’s radiance always covers everything!
