Had this question thrown our way:
Thought it was good, to share it here.
The question is again, "in what real way has the GRACE of JESUS effected or done for you?"
I really like what Paul says to Titus about GRACE:
Paul says: "It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age."
Titus 2:12
When folks around here, leave everything and learn about HIS GRACE, these same things take place (we've seen them over and over again!) Praise the LORD!
They:
- Start to understand the Scriptures like never before, its like the lights go on, when reading/studying scripture.
- Sin starts to simply 'fall off', of you. You will sin less, and then much less!
Joy and the fruit of the SPIRIT, manifest. You start to love the unloveable and care like you never have before.
You start to manifest, more of the 'gifts of the SPIRIT', which run on LOVE/GRACE
You now have the 'true Gospel', and a true message to the 'lost' out there.
You will usually offend (not intentionally) many of the church going folks out there. They stumble over the simplicity of the GOSPEL and stumble over CHRIST Himself.- Your finances will change, and you will live under real, experienced favour. And now able to give out to those around you.
We've experienced this and seen these same results many times over.
It all manifests, as you grown in GRACE.
Its Awesome, its the beginning to everything in the Kingdom and we never exhaust HIS LOVE nor get to the bottom of GRACE.
