Everything You Wanted to Know About Grace (but were afraid to ask)
First of all, we don’t know everything there is to know about grace, however what we do know, we will share with you today.
We are going to discuss the basic foundation of grace and how it relates to our everyday life in our walk with the Lord.
Eph 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

If it is a free gift, then our being a good person, or how we always repent when we mess up, or how much money we give, we did nothing to earn grace.
We have heard that grace means unmerited favor or extending favor when it isn’t expected or deserved. The divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life. Whatever God gives us, we are to give away to others. He gives us grace, we give grace to others, he gives us love, we share that love with others, He forgives us, we forgive others.
Grace is just a nice word of encouragement until you seek it out and receive it. We must find grace and receive grace to experience and enjoy grace. God’s grace is available to all who find it. If you are still bound by the law, you will never realize the true meaning of grace and you will never appreciate the gift of grace that God has given you.
Law vs Grace
A mixture of both is where we get into a state of confusion. Mixture is doublemindedness which makes us unstable in all our ways. We must avoid the mixture of law and grace. One of the very first thing Jesus said publicly is, I have come to fulfill the law. What did he put in its place, grace.
Fulfill - bring to completion.
