Grace Comes in a person – through Jesus Christ
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. – Ephesians 2:8-9.
How Grace Comes
Here is a beautiful Christian description of grace by Paul Zahl:
Grace is love that seeks you out when you have nothing to give in return… Grace is being loved when you are unlovable…. Grace is a love that has nothing to do with you, the beloved. It has everything and only to do with the lover. Grace is irrational in the sense that it has nothing to do with weights and measures. It has nothing to do with my intrinsic qualities… It reflects a decision on the part of the giver, the one who loves, in relation to the receiver, the one who is loved, that negates any qualifications the receiver may personally hold…. Grace is one-way love… One-way love lifts up. One way love cures. One-way love transforms. It is the change agent of life.
Isn’t that a beautiful description? Is that something you need in your life?
Remember: Grace comes in a person, through Jesus Christ.
