Worthy Enough

Understanding grace as a gift from God

At some point, often right at the beginning of your spiritual journey with God, you are hit with the realization that you can never do enough to make yourself a worthy recipient of eternal life with God. Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it clear that getting right with God is something that we cannot boast about. We can’t take the credit ourselves. It is simply a gift from God. Laine Craft shares her personal story of how this realization drew her to Christ.

In what ways have you started to understand God's grace? How often do you think about it each day? Why not take a moment right now to thank God for the grace He continually offers. Then pass that grace forward by extending grace to someone else in the next few days.

Application Question:

• Laine says "When I was able to receive this grace and mercy from the blood of Christ, it was the beginning of when I could give that love and forgiveness and mercy." Is this true of you too? Why or why not?
