Grace is Enough...

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God (KJV)

Amazing scripture right there. This scripture clearly describes the extent to which God loves us. We got salvation on a silver platter, I mean we did not have to do anything to earn it. God just decided that he loves us too much and we deserve to be restored to an amazing relationship with Him. The Message Bible says Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish!

We never have anything to do with grace. God gives it to us because He love us. No wonder people say that grace is unmerited favor.After what happened at the garden of Eden, we do not deserve to be shown love but He keeps on showering us with His mercies that are new every morning. Is that not amazing?

2nd Corinthians 12:9 says ...My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness...
Now God is telling us here that these mercies and gifts he gives us freely is OK and we do not need anything extra. All he needs us to do is have complete trust in Him and when we do that he fixes everything. I think the one step we need to take to have an amazing relationship with God is to completely trust and believe that His grace is enough...

My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
