Grace

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

Grace

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Grace

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30

God's Big Book Of Jesus Is Packed Brim Full To Overflowing With God's Mercy And God's Grace

And If You Read It Looking For God's Grace It Will (IMO) Change Forever The Way You View The OT (The First Book Of Grace)

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, Psalms 40:7

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Hebrews 10:7

Sorry, somehow I posted on the wrong thread, I will now delete it.

God Bless All

Grace to me means that I can look at my past behavior and/or emotional baggage, own my issues, and move forward without shame. It means I can look inward, let God see what hurtful way there is in me, and be led in the way that is everlasting. It means not being ashamed because Christ removed my shame, because without that, I would not be able to face these things.

It means I can therefore have life now, not just in the next life.

Grace is like when you wreck the old man's car when you are 19 and he says 2 things to you:

1) You OK?

2) Call the insurance company

no.

Grace is like you went into someones home and murdered everyone in cold blood but the head of household.

as you drove out the driveway with a stolen car, you got rammed by a truck.

The owner looks at you and says:

1) You OK?

2) Let's call an ambulance

makes sure all your hospital bills are paid and does not want to press charges.

that's more like Grace.

GRACE means LIFE.

Without grace, I am doomed.

[Guest shiloh357]

We obtain Grace by virtue snd virtue from acts of carefulness

and regard for others.

No, grace is what we given by God as gift. Grace does not stem from what we do. Grace the gift of God's mercy given to those who trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Grace is also the empowerment to live as Jesus lived. It is the strength to do good works. It is not the result of good works, as you suggest.

Grace is a unique state of mind and Heart, for we are an emotiional

and vain (self-involved) creature and our feelings and state of mind

can become quite 'stormy' and reckless and offensive.

Grace has nothing to do with one's state of mind. Rather it pertains to their spiritual standing before a holy and just God.

Grace, simply, is ones desires and perceptions and reasonings and

judgements and feelings in a state of comparative clarity and peacefulness,

relative to the otherwise empassioned and clouded state of mind and desire and

action. Grace and passion are opposites, yet Grace knows great feelings

and affections and compassions, yet such never clouds nor confuses the mind,

and such never compel one to overrule nor ignore nor violate righteousness.

That would not be a biblical definition of grace. Grace does not have anything to do with our desires nor our state of mind. It is a free gift of God bought and paid for by Jesus finished work on the cross.

Grace is the gift God keeps for the select, which do indeed sincerely,

trustfully, and courageously keep God's will for the true well-being of

all livingkind in their each and every day's acts and choices.

Not true. Grace is not for those who live perfectly. It is for all of us who sin, who fall short of God's standard. Grace does not depend on us doing what's right. Grace is the mercy of God in action. It is inordinate mercy shown to those who in fact deserve who deserve God's inordinate contempt.

Exactly. It is grace that offers us the free gift of salvation and it is grace that enables us to live obediently once we are saved
