Nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins and make us whole again.
Nothing in our hands can we bring; Helpless to His cross we cling.
Naked we came to Him for dress, Helpless came we to Him for grace.
Nothing is left between our soul and our Savior.
Wash us, Savior, or we die!
We have renounced all sinful pleasure.
We have resolved to allow nothing to hinder us from living our life for God!
We have accepted and believe in God’s grace and the result is absolutely amazing!
God’s grace blesses us and forgives us of sin so we can have a clean slate.
God erases the record that was against us and purges us from all the wrong we have committed. God does for us what we could not do for ourselves by granting us His undeserved favor that we cannot earn or ever repay.
So how do we accept such a gift?
WE accept it by “FAITH.”
It is through our faith in God’s grace that we allow Him to mold us into His image.
God is the potter and we are the clay.
God gives us His grace so we can have a new life.
God gives us the power to live brand new lives in His likeness.
“By God’s Grace” through our faith we desire to be different.
Our actions, beliefs, companions, devotion, entertainment, focus, goals, happiness, love, motivation, needs, objectives, purpose, quest, recreation, satisfaction, trust, understanding, values, work, eXamination, yearning and zeal for life changes.
Our life is no longer about our needs and wants but about the joy we have discovered in God’s grace and how we can express it to others through our own “ACT OF GRACE”!
Grace is God’s divine influence which operates on us to regenerate and sanctify us.
It is God’s power that inspires us to be virtuous.
It is God’s strength to help us endure trials and resist temptations.
It is the excellence of God working in our lives.
It is God changing and transforming us into His divine image and likeness.
