The abundant life of grace is the victorious life in the Spirit..

..and visa versa. Yeah, that’s the life of agape love.  Impactin’ to say the least!  Please enjoy this world-changin’ agape lifestyle in the One who thought of love - it’s the abundant overflowin’ life of J-O-Y, victory and sweet compassionate mercy in God’s Spirit.

Some so called Christians today seem to want to export an “earn it, heartlessly religious, do good to gain and please God kinda gospel” of sorts. You know what I’m talkin’ about. And I’ve run into a few lately, but this type doesn’t supply the power to do good - it’s not the Bible’s Gospel.  But there’s nothin’ better to share with any unbeliever.. including a contrary, hurt, disillusioned, or difficult unbeliever ..than the wonderful biblical Gospel of grace, cuz the Lord is a God of abundant grace.  

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” ~Paul, Eph. 1:7

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves…” Eph. 2:8

“To please God, we only need to believe in Him and trust Him. That is the Gospel of grace.” ~ Chuck Smith

“The drawing is not like that of the executioner, who draws the thief up the ladder to the gallows; but is a gracious allurement, such as that of the man whom everybody loves, and to whom everybody willingly goes.” ~ Martin Luther

It can radically change you and everything about your walk even when you thought all changin’ was behind you.  Of course no person is ever saved against their own will, but he or she when “open to Christ” can be made willing by the operation of the Spirit of grace.  Their hard, cold heart can be disarmed and made softer.  All pride, pushy striving, hatred of people and rebellion against authority can quickly go by the wayside.  Yes, upon turning and trusting, a mighty and winsome grace from God can enter into such a person to make em new.     

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” 2 Pet. 1:2

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” 1 Pet. 4:10

“Grace is so relaxing!” Mack Roller
