GraceSample

Say Yes

When I was young, I was taught a way to think about grace–gifts received at Christ’s expense (GRACE). It continues to remind me that it’s only through the saving work of Jesus, His death and resurrection, that there is grace. He is the grace of God that Paul talks about to Titus. That grace so freely given means that we want to eschew the choices that lead us away from God and towards the things that honor Him. This is the way we try to live while we await Jesus’ return.

The last couple of lines sum it up well–Jesus has given Himself for us to redeem us from our sin and make us clean, pure, to be His people, eager to please Him and to serve Him.

This is reflected in our lives. We know we can’t earn our salvation, and we want to please Him. We accept the gift offered to us because of the cost that Christ paid so that we may have salvation and eternal life.

GRACE. Say yes to salvation; say yes to Jesus’ offer.
