It simply means we don’t have anything attractive within us to be loved by God, it
means we cannot earn love and His mercy; it means we don’t have
intrinsic capacities to be loved by God. He chose to love us by His own
volition& will. This divine love is called “Grace”. It’s profound
and it must change the very depth of who we are as human beings. The
grace of God is so powerful that can renew the mind and regenerate our
selfish heart.
I am talking about the substantive aspect of God’s grace.I
am not interested in the stylistic presentation of grace by
nonchalantly saying, we are saved by God’s grace alone; therefore, we
can do whatever our fleshes crave for because God loves
us. That is not God’s grace! That is merely an infatuation with the
concept of grace; having that kind of superficial attitudes perverts the
very divine nobility of God’s grace.
Grace
is when God decides to provide you and I with His mercy and love in
order to see the work of His son on the cross; so we can become
transformed by it and transmit that love and grace to others around us.
When
God gives us His grace, we must become sanctified that is to say we are
not going to associate with the
temporal and lustful things of this world. It is, however, going to be a
challenge for us to separate ourselves, but we have the spiritual
weapons to abort those worldly thoughts that may perversely entertain
our minds.
God’s
grace is sufficient for us through whom we will come to know our Lord
and have a relationship with Him, through whom we see the redeeming work
of Christ. Christ is the very essence of God’s grace
meaning Christ is the grace Himself and He wants to clothe us through
it. There is nothing we can do to earn it, it’s completely
unmerited and that is the divine mystery of His volition and will. We will know when we have God’s grace in our lives; because it changes us and it produces abundant fruits.
God’s
Grace in our life equals to love, mercy, forgiveness, tolerance,
patience, understanding, respect, and compassion. Our lack of enthusiasm
to manifest these qualities in our daily life is the paramount evidence
that we severely need God’s grace.
Hence, I urge you to come to Him in humility so He can grant you His riches grace that is so pure and life transforming.
