What is Grace to you?

What is your definition of grace? Here are some thoughts on grace to ponder…

“If grace is only unmerited favor, then Jesus never had any.” – Graham Cooke

Yet, the grace of God was upon Jesus….Luke 2:40

Jesus was full of grace and truth…John 1:14

So, what is grace, really?

“Grace is the empowering presence of God that enables you to become the person that He sees when He looks at you.” – Graham Cooke

This is why we are told to grow in grace…2 Pet.3:18

Grace is the empowering presence to live a godly life…Titus 2:11-12

“Grace doesn’t excuse sin, it empowers righteousness…Grace doesn’t overlook sin, it empowers obedience.” Bill Johnson
