The way to begin to celebrate the grace that God so freely gives you every day is by admitting how much you need it.

Here's what you need to understand: your faith is not your hope; his zealous grace is the only source of hope for fickle-faith sinners.

The purpose of God's grace is not to make your little kingdom of one work better.

The purpose of God's grace is to free you from your slavery to you so that you can live for a much, much better kingdom:

This season, in the midst of all the celebrations and gift-giving, be careful to remember that at the center of what we celebrate is one game-changing, life-altering, hope-giving reality: grace is a person, and his name is Jesus.

If you have been freed from needing success and acclaim to feel good about yourself, you know grace has visited you.

The first of these comforts is the stunningly encouraging comfort of God's amazing grace.

So we have only one place of hope, one solid rock on which to stand, and that rock is Christ Jesus. Only when we admit that we have awe-fickle hearts will we begin to reach out for and cling to the forgiving, transforming, rescuing, and delivering grace of Jesus.

God's grace invites you to be part of something that is far greater than your boldest and most expansive dream. His grace cuts a hole in your self-built prison and invites you to step into something so huge, so significant that only one word in the Bible can adequately capture it. That word is glory.

sin kidnapped our worship, and grace works to restore it to its rightful owner—God. It is only when God is in his rightful place in our hearts that everything else is in its appropriate place in our lives, and only powerful grace can accomplish this.

True Christianity is always a matter of the submission of the heart to God, something that only rescuing grace can produce.

You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside. OSWALD CHAMBERS
