Our God is amazing for so many reasons. Yet one of the most important of these is His grace.

What does that mean? Grace.

It is something given to you although you do not deserve it. Nothing you or I can do merits this favor, mercy, grace.

We sin. Sin deserves death.

Consider the adultress in John 8

John 8:3-11 KJV

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

This woman deserved death but Jesus stepped in and saved her. I feel this parallels the way Jesus stepped in and saved us by dying on our behalf. Powerful!

But go and sin no more! Grace is not a free sin pass!

I am guilty of that and I’m sure we all struggle. But thanks be to Christ for His wonderful plan and grace…amazing grace indeed.
