The word “grace” has different meanings or senses. The main meaning is “depending on the kindness of another person’’. But it goes against our grain, for we like to take matters into our own hands when it is a question of our own wellbeing. We are quick enough to offer reward to any one who comes forward to help or render his services to us.
The famous verse in the Holy Bible is:
“The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men”.
Regarding God’s grace, the meaning of it is beyond our intelligence and understanding. We can not attempt to recompense Him for His grace. We shall always be His debtors. His benefits abound for us daily.
He is always the Giver, who “giveth to all life, and breath and all things (Acts 17:25)”. No one is in a position to give Him the honor due to Him for these things.
But we have to ask ourselves the following questions:
1. Whether we have done His will?
2. Haven’t we rather lived apart from Him, day in, day out, often transgressing His commandments?
The guilt committed by us can’t be cancelled through any achievements of our own, nor by our sacrifices or by our good deeds, but only through His grace.
That grace has appeared in Jesus Christ, The Son of God, who came to earth as a Man to bear God’s judgment on behalf of sinners. It brings salvation for all. So avail yourself of God’s offer of grace in Jesus Christ! Come to the Savior without second thoughts and today itself.
