"In Christ we are set free by the blood of His death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God's grace..."
How much is God's grace? ".. He has given to us so fully and freely" (Eph.1:8a). What is that? "That is, in Christ, He chose us ... to be His people and we bring praise to God because of His wonderful grace. God gave that grace to us freely, in Christ, the One God loves" (Eph.1:4,6). God gave His grace to us, why? "Because of His love, and it was what He wanted ... to make us His own children through Jesus Christ. And that pleased God so much" (Eph.1:5).
You know, I have come to appreciate God's grace more and more. I pray that Holy Spirit will open our hearts toward God, the wondrous of His grace. The song came to me:
Grace Greater Than Our Sin.
"Marvelous grace of our living Lord,
Grace that exceeds (goes beyond) our sin and our guilt,
Yonder on Calvery's mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was split (spilled).
Chorus:
Grace... Grace... God's... grace...,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse.. within...;
Grace... Grace... God's... grace...,
Grace that is greater than all.. our sins..."
(Julia Harriette Johnson)
May the Lord gives you grace and peace today!

PS. I happen to find this in Dec. 2010 and I thought, "wow," I didn't even remember that far back that I had done this. His Word of Grace is new every morning.
