*John 1:17

Devo Fuel: {Infinite Grace}

"Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17)

The word grace means more than just God's kindness or gentleness toward us, or even His mercy. It means His undeserved favor. It means God owes nothing to us, and we deserve nothing from Him. When the Bible says "by grace you have been saved" (Eph. 2:5), it means our salvation was totally unmerited. It came solely because of God's grace.

The motive of grace is the infinite, compassionate love of a merciful God, but the work of grace was Christ's death on the Cross. When I imagine Christ hanging from the Cross, the spikes in His hands, the crown of thorns on His brow, His blood draining from His body, the soldiers mocking Him - then I know that nothing can equal the infinite love of God for a sinful world.

But God's grace is also exhibited when we humbly bow before Christ in repentance and faith, for then we find forgiveness. Thank God for His grace, for w/out it we would have no hope!

Apologies from the front line, Please forgive me in my absence. I have been taking some time to re-evaluating my career situation and praying deeply for the Lords direction. Ever since I graduated in 01' God has been opening and closing doors in the career field. What are your plan's?, sense of worth, attention to detail are things that occupy by thoughts. Only by the grace of God will I find hope =)
