Grace is a big and very hard topic. To be able to understand it, we need the help of experts,… but it’s not the case.
Would you like me to tell you Grace? Grace is when you stand in your lane on the traffic light and suddenly a man comes and wants to take your place, but since the time is limited maybe if you give him your place, you may not make it to the green light. But GRACE will cause you to do that and you do it joyfully and by the way, this is a true story that actually happened to me. Driving few meters, I wanted to park next to the destined shop but there was one vacant parking and guess who raced me to park there? The same guy I graced few seconds ago. And again, I didn't get angry with him. This is Graceeeeee.
So funny when we think that what we do sometimes, we call it sacrifice / grace, but when we compare it to Jesus sacrificial act, is beyond comparison. In Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” and in Ephesians 2:8 says “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." In other words, the cross and the curse that you and me deserve, Jesus took them and gave us the Blessing, Eternal life that we will never deserve with our good deeds. This is the true Grace - He is Jesus - Jesus is Grace.
Religion is what we try to do for God. Grace is what God has done for us, and is doing in us, through His son Jesus Christ.
