One thing after another, reminding me that life was not as easy and predictable as I’d like it to be. Then I found out I was pregnant with our third child, complete with severe morning sickness. Then I found out our landlord was selling the place we lived in and we needed to find somewhere else quick. Things that happen with no warning, that turn our lives upside down and shatter every pretense of us being in control.Īt the beginning of this year, I was looking forward to all the new possibilities that the coming months might bring. We live in a fallen world and sometimes things happen to us that are simply out of our control. I’m going to share three reasons why God’s grace is still absolutely vital for the life of believers.Īnd sometimes the hardships we face have nothing to do with us. We will never reach a time in our lives when we can step out on our own and leave God’s grace and mercy behind. The truth is, we as believers need God’s grace every day. We think we can continue living as a Christian now in our own strength. So often, we associate grace with that initial act of salvation, but then we set it aside. Yet, what about now that we are saved? What role does God’s grace play in our lives now? This is not because of anything we did to earn it – it is purely from God’s grace, his undeserved favour in our lives. He forgave our sins and restored us to relationship with himself. We were sinful and under God’spunishment yet when we put our faith in Jesus, God gave us his grace.
We often think of this grace when it comes to initial salvation. His mercy and blessings given to us even though we don’t deserve it.
Yet, what does it really mean? What does it mean for our lives? As a Christian, I hear a lot of talk about grace.
