Grace -- less Living ... way of the World

You heard it said, "you get what you give." That's the real world motto. The philosophy of the day is that what you get you get on your own merits. It's the old law of karma. Bad cause equals bad effect. Good cause equal good effect. You get what you deserve

Rejection, giving up, not trying are the lessons learned by living in the graceless world. The repeating cycle of karma over and over spiraling to bleak entropy mirroring the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. It states, "All natural systems degenerate when left to themselves". This is why everything falls apart and decays over time.

Grace travels outside karma. Grace is undeserved favor.

If you have grace you have

» A grateful heart - God doesn't owe you anything. You can't merit God's favor. (If you and the olympic long jump champion Carl Lewis tried to jump the Grand Canyon, probably Carl would outdistance you a bit. But that would be an incremental difference considering the distance the chasm posed. Compared to God's standard we all fall exceedingly short.)

» Stop comparing yourself - When you compare yourself to others you start coveting, which leads to bitterness, ingratitude and inner grumbling. A snake pit of misgivings arise when you begin to envy others' blessings. You'll think yourself more deserving because of what you said or did. Warts appear. So live like the unique person God made you to be.

» Extend grace to others - Acts of kindness, spontaneous giving and thoughtfulness transform and chip away at our unattractiveness.

 

The single greatest act of Grace ever given was Christmas.

If you accept thru faith, you will never be the same again.
