Grace, the Purest Essence of God’s Mercy

The greatest example of God’s mercy comes in the form of Jesus Christ, who became the incarnation of God in the body of man. By Him we are saved, and through Him, we receive God’s grace. Jesus didn’t come to us so that He could experience what it meant to be a man, no, He came so that we, who were sinful and fallen, could be redeemed, and experience righteous life, and the fullness of God. Through Christ we were given grace, and it continues to flow through Him to this day; unmerited, unwarranted, and the purest essence of God’s mercy.

How Much Grace Is Enough?

How much grace have we each received through Jesus Christ? How much will we eventually receive before He finally says “that should be enough!”? The answer is that we will never receive enough because it is one of those spiritual blessings that flows, along with living water to cover our sins, and it isn’t determined by our capacity to receive it, but Christ’s ability to give it.

Is God Really Merciful, Full of Grace, and our Friend?

God is merciful and full of grace; we say this repetitively, but do we say it because we believe it to be true, or because as sinners we desperately need to believe He is? We depend on God’s mercy every day, and since we can’t save ourselves, we need His grace. Yet, simply believing these things doesn’t make them so, but as we witness His behavior, and read His Word, we come to know it is indeed the truth.
