Grace Thoughts on Oneplace.com

It is vitally important when we hear the Word of God being taught, or read, or studied - that we always hear it or read it through the lens of grace. The scriptural ideal of life is beyond man's ability to live it. Matthew 5:28-20 points to an impossible life. We cannot live life at this level; we need help, and we need GRACE.

On most occasions banquets were offered to close friends and family. It was not casual; there was great honor in throwing the banquet - and being invited to the banquet. The seeming worthy, the religious, acceptable and respected by men refused the invitation to feast with the King. The Host wants anyone who wants to be there to come! This is a parable of extravagent grace.

God is extravagant in His love, in His grace and in His mercy towards us. He will lay down His life for those who despise Him. He will go the extra mile. How we think is not how He thinks. God is not bound by race, culture or offense. His nature is to love, accept and affirm. It always has been - and always will be.

We need help changing the way we think about God, ourselves and others. We have to untangle our often life-long religious concepts and images of God - produced from a fallen human heart - and the only way to do that is to replace these erroneous concepts with truth. Whatever you have done, no matter how bad we may deem it to be, Salvation has come to you through Jesus Christ.

"What is God Like?" is the title of a children's book, as well as a question that most humans have asked themselves at some point in their lives. The problem is people have equated religion as to what God is really like. Religion has often, although not always, failed to bring to its followers a full and correct image of the God they worship. It is often reduced to an outward behavioral practice, missing the heart of the one they are trying to offer.

Understanding the depths of God's grace is essential if we are to ever live in the flow of the Spirit. Grace is to receive something without earning it or deserving it. Once given, grace does not need to be paid back. Grace sees nothing of greater or lesser value in its recipient. It's the same for everybody. Grace is never withdrawn if it is not appreciated, acknowledged or embraced. Jesus sees the rot in all of us, yet he likes us and is for us. It's the message of the Cross.
