A reflection about God’s grace

His grace is greater than our failures.

His grace is greater than our victories.

There is no reason to let guilt reign over our lives; let’s just repent and confess.

There is no reason to be proud of the good we do; let’s just thank God for the opportunity to serve him.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – Ephesians 2:8

he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life – Titus 3:5-7

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. – Titus 2:11-14

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. – Hebrews 4:16
