Respond to His Grace

For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. John 1:16-17  

Rules – Rules – Rules. That was what the law provided. Rules by which to live. Those Ten Commandments were essential…and still are. Worship God for He alone is worthy of our worship. Respect your parents. Don’t kill, steal, lie, covet…or even defame anyone. That is pretty basic. And then there are all the rules that the Hebrew people needed to follow those Ten Commandments. So many rules. Jesus came to fulfill that Law…to free us from legalism with His grace and truth. Ah, grace—unmerited favor. And truth that is pure, untainted, unbent—perfect honesty. That’s what we have in Jesus. 

RSVP: Jesus is pouring His perfect grace on you. Do you want that in your life? As His grace and truth flow through you, how do you respond to Jesus and to others? 

Prayer~ For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly (Psalms 84:11). As You pour out Your grace on me, Jesus, give me wisdom to see You working in my life and help me to respond in positive ways to You and to others.
