Grace

We were studying in Ephesians today on chapter 2:5-6...

The word grace is a common placed word throughout this chapter, noting that we have been saved by grace. Grace is undeserved goodness. I have a hard time understanding grace. To know that He claims my life even though I am not deserving of His love. I am not. Yet by His grace, His goodness, He has chosen to raise me up and seat me at his side.

Matthew West sings the song, "Only Grace"-Carefully read the lyrics.

There is no guilt here
There is no shame
No pointing fingers
There is no blame
What happened yesterday
Has disappeared
The dirt has washed away
And now it’s clear

Chorus:
There’s only grace
There’s only love
There’s only mercy
And believe me it’s enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
There’s nothing left now
There’s only grace


You’re starting over now
Under the sun
You’re stepping forward now
A new life has begun
Your new life has begun

Chorus:

And if you should fall again
Get back up, get back up
Reach out and take my hand
Get back up, Get back up
Get back up again


Realizing that by choosing to follow Him, our new life has begun and by His grace He will cleanse our sins..thou they be as scarlet, they are now white as snow....
