As we wrap up this week of simple Christianity, today we look at grace.

Many of us are so hard on ourselves and struggle to allow ourselves to taste the grace the Father

has for us. We look to earn love and acceptance in this world, but God's way of grace couldn't be more

different from the world who tells us we are what we do.

May today be a breath of fresh air as you encounter the grace of God that requires nothing

in return. Welcome to the first 15, verse 10.

Scripture says,

But by the grace of God, I am what I am.

And His grace toward me was not in vain.

On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them,

though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

Grace is a glorious commodity of heaven

that can only be received and experienced in surrender to the will and love of our Heavenly Father.

Our world is unable to offer grace because it is in a constant state of need, and grace can only be offered from a place of true wholeness and love.

In utter completeness, our God is able to offer us grace because he needs nothing from us in return.

He requires nothing of us, so he offers us everything apart from any ability or inherent value we possess.

Grace compromises the core of the Christian Foundation.

It's God's grace that drove him to send his son as payment for our sins.

It's through grace that we enter into the fullness of restored relationship with our good father.

It's through grace that we receive forgiveness for our sins.

And it's in the simplicity of grace

that we are transformed into the very image of our Savior.
