Jesus IS Lord!
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.”
-- Psalm 122:6
God's Unmerited Grace
What is Grace? Unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification. A virtue coming from God. A state of sanctification enjoyed through Divine Grace. Approval, favor, mercy, pardon, privilege, reprieve, and more - all describe God's Grace.
Ephesians 2:8-10 - NLT
God saved you by his special favor when you believed.
And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done,
so none of us can boast about it.
For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us
anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the
good things he planned for us long ago.
Genesis 31:42
(Jacob Speaking)
In fact, except for the grace of God
--the God of my grandfather Abraham,
the awe-inspiring God of my father, Isaac
--you would have sent me off without a
penny to my name. But God has seen
your cruelty and my hard work. That is why
he appeared to you last night and vindicated me.
Psalm 84:11 - NLT
For the LORD God is our light and protector.
He gives us grace and glory.
No good thing will the LORD withhold
from those who do what is right.
Romans 6:1-4 - NLT
Well then, should we keep on sinning
so that God can show us more and more kindness
and forgiveness? Of course not! Since we have
died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?
Or have you forgotten that when we became
Christians and were baptized to become one with
Christ Jesus, we died with him? For we died
and were buried with Christ by baptism.
And just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glorious power of the Father,
now we also may live new lives.
