Grace

It has been said there are only two religions in the world: those that require you to earn God's grace and the one that invites you to enjoy God's grace.
The idea of earning our way to heaven appeals to the human mind. We're taught to work for what we want, and after all, nothing in life comes free! The problem, however, is this: how hard do we need to work? How do we know when we've done enough? Life itself becomes a constant source of doubt, fear, and anxiety. That's why God simply says, "Forget trying to earn my love, because you can't. I'm giving it to you, free and clear!"

God's unlimited and unconditional love-His grace-comes to you through your faith in Jesus Christ and His work. Jesus' ministry on earth shows you God's care and compassion for you as you struggle with the everyday realities of life. His death on the cross shows you God's judgment on sin, and His resurrection from the grave shows you God's acceptance of Jesus' life for yours. No, this doesn't make any sense to the human mind, because it doesn't come from the human mind-it comes from God's, a God of unfathomable, undeserved grace.
God invites you to enjoy-yes, to delight in-living in His grace, because you have it. Salvation is yours, heaven is yours, eternal life is yours-yours free and clear.
