Grace Sufficient

He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:

for My strength is made perfect in weakness.

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,

that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

~2 Corinthians 12:9~

In every season,

in every circumstance,

His grace is sufficient for me.

~Nancy Leigh DeMoss~

Commended Love

"But God commendeth his love toward us,

in that, while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us."

~Romans 5:8~

I am not what I ought to be,

I am not what I wish to be,

I am not what I hope to be;

but, by the grace of God,

I am not what I was.

~John Newton~

Abounding Grace

"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.

But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
 through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."

~Romans 5:20-21~

Grace is ... a boundless offering of God's self to us,

suffering with us, overflowing with tenderness.

Grace is God's passion.

~Gerald G. May~

Amazing Grace

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,

but have everlasting life. For God sent not

 his Son into the world to condemn the world;

but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned:

but he that believeth not is condemned already,

because he hath not believed in the name

of the only begotten Son of God."

~John 3:16-18~

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind but now I see.

~John Newton~

The Beauty of Grace

“Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:

yet we did esteem Him stricken,

smitten of God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities:

the chastisement of our peace was upon Him;

and with His stripes we are healed.”

~Isaiah 53:4-5~

The beauty of grace –

our only permanent deliverance from guilt –

is that it meets us where we are

and gives us what we don’t deserve.

~Charles R. Swindoll~

By His Grace

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption

that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth

to be a propitiation through faith in His blood,

to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins

that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness:

that He might be just, and the Justifier

of him which believeth in Jesus.”

~Romans 3:23-26~

Grace is a costly gift and it is most needed when it is least deserved.

~Mark Gregston~
