Grace...Unmerited favor from God, all because of Jesus Christ.
It's a word I love to think about!.
Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor.
I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us.
Grace... expresses two complementary thoughts: God's unmerited favor to us through Christ, and God's divine assistance to us through the Holy spirit.
Favor- Is a divine partiality! It work's in hand with grace...

"Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace."
Sometimes we may ask God for success, and He gives us physical and mental stamina. We might plead for prosperity, and we receive enlarged perspective and increased patience, or we petition for growth and are blessed with the gift of grace. He may bestow upon us conviction and confidence as we strive to achieve worthy goals.
I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I thank them for their patience and grace.
Believers do not desire to sin, we do not practice sin, and we wage war against sin. With these things taken into consideration that does not mean that we won’t have severe battles against sin or that we can’t backslide.There is a difference between genuinely struggling with sin and having a hunger for righteousness and being dead in sin. There are many believers who are fighting an intense battle. The struggle is real but never forget that God is real as well.
WHY ARE YOU CONSCIOUS OF SIN
What are you scared of? Grace has won!!!

Romans 6:1-3 “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?”
You tend to practice what you are conscious of, so why would you be conscious of sin...This way, you are trying to be accountable for whatever you do or may do. Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
What makes everything even worse is that we try to do good works to get back in right standing with God. We start to become more religious. We start to look at what we can do instead of what God has done for us. It’s so hard to believe the gospel of redeeming grace in the light of our sin. How can criminals such as us be let free? How can God’s love be so great towards us?
Titus 2:11-14
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.”
REPENTANCE IS YOUR REALITY
You repent from sin and unto life... Grace is just his Overwhelming desire, to treat you as if you had never sinned!
Live your life in redeemed freedom...Infuse it with action! There is no sin so great that grace can’t forgive it. Romans 5:20 “Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” The truth is, "In the Realm of Grace, there is abundance".
I get a choice every time I have to open my mouth: that it can be with civility and dignity and grace - or not.
Samuel Rutherford said -"Grace tried is better than grace, and more than grace; it is glory in its infancy."
Grace comes with a whole lot of packages... so you must get your feet wet in obedience, so as to tap all!
Grace is Free in God's Economy!
His Grace found us... and will keep us still!
Of cos, we can't have it all... but when you have God, you are assured of all! -Our Ability may fail us, but God's Capability will never fail us. Remember, every weakness you have is an opportunity for God to show his strength in your life.
Grace is not a license to sin, but it frees us from it... It shows and condemns the sin that humbles us. Grace is a promise, and must prevail even when we fail.
For I know whom I have trusted...
Thank God for everything!
Grace is a lifestyle, not everybody can handle it
Just Love God and experience the exchange that's bought buy Grace!!!

Wonderful message. Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor.

@STEEMCHURCH
Its lovely to be part of steemchurch @roselynpage.....nice message
Tanks gidolee!!!
I hope you will publish more and we can get to know you better!
Nothing like the grace of God in us is an undeserved gift but for Him it is not love and by grace saved us, as I read that we were created to be loved
Thanks for this wonderful post about grace. Indeed the grace of God is so free to those who believeth in him. God giveth grace and grace he giveth aboundantly.
For his grace is sufficient for us, it's enough for everyone. No matter how deep your sin has gone, come to the alter of grace and he will wash you clean.
DISCLAIMER: Just like you said @roslynpage, no 1 should see this as an avenue for sin, for you can not play your GOD, we all should strive towards perfection, for HIS GRACE IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR THE REPENTANT SOUL.
