Grace, Mercy and Forgiven

Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness--some of the greatest words ever. Thank you Lord for dying so that I might be forgiven and share eternity with You. Grace, what an incredible gift, a gift that is beyond what I can attempt to describe.....a gift that comes from God as man, crucified. God, innocent and crucified as a criminal--a man who faced all temptations, but remained sin free. We are told over and over that God's grace is sufficient. Grace is from God and made possible through Christ. Grace is in the bible 170 times.Grace is unmerited favor from God. There is nothing we can do to earn it; grace is free to us, but came at a price for Christ.
So many times we see or hear of others doing the unthinkable, as one forgiven, we are called to extend grace and forgiveness to others. This is not always an easy task, but forgiveness is for you not for them. Thank You Christ for Your unending grace. Even though it is free and I can do nothing to earn it, may I never stop giving You praise!!
