Today’s
scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1
It breaks my heart when I hear people say something like, “Well, I can live however I want as long as I ask for forgiveness.” They really don’t understand what grace is. And what Jesus did for us to receive grace.
They “receive the grace of God in vain.”
For us to have grace—unmerited favor—Jesus died. He died. He gave everything so that we could have everything: salvation, justification, eternal life.
When we think of all He did, we should want to live differently so that He is pleased, so that He receives glory and honor.
Grace isn’t a “get out of jail free” card to be used over and over. It’s a gift, an amazing gift from the sovereign God of the universe.
Be grateful … and don’t take it in vain.
