Choose Grace
Jesus doesn’t stand separately from life calling humanity unto Him; He emerges in the midst of life offering the lost of the world a way to the Father through simple faith. He left all of glory to dwell among us. In human form, the bible tells us he humbled himself through obedience to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:8)
He lavished His preventive grace upon humanity as the greatest offer of all times. It is by His offer of grace we are saved through faith. Grace is not our own doing. Grace is a free gift received by placing your belief in the finished work of Christ. God’s grace is not a spiritual enhancement; it’s a radical rescue, calling you to walk the kingdom path of good works.
God’s gift of grace calls upon the sinner, inviting a choice. You can choose His offer of grace. You can reject His offer of grace. However, you can’t ignore His offer of grace because it pursues you constantly. The greatest gift to man was, is and will always be Jesus, but I contend that the second greatest gift was the gift of choices.
Choose grace; it is the only path that leads home. Choose grace; it is the only path that leads to heaven and earth coming together where those found in Christ will live for all eternity. Choose grace; the Spirit cannot regenerate the sinner until he believes. Choose grace; and you will discover the new way of life walking out the good works God has prepared for you.
Choose grace and you’re on the path to becoming fully human as God has always desired for His creation. Choose Jesus and allow all the old to pass away and embrace the new. Allow me to repeat myself as I end this devotion. Jesus doesn’t stand separately from life calling humanity unto Him; He emerges in the midst of life offering the lost of the world a way to the Father through simple faith.
