Living the Grace Life

To benefit from God’s grace, we must first understand it. As the human manifestation of grace, Jesus made it possible for us to live free from sin and condemnation. Depending on Him allows Him to be our provision, both on the physical and on the spiritual level. He’s our provider, our righteousness, and everything else we need in this life. What Jesus did for us on the cross He did out of love, not because we deserved anything good from Him. His death was necessary in order to satisfy God’s law of justice, which called for death as the penalty for sin; it enabled God to show mankind His infinite, unrestricted love. Because of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made, God can now deal with us with mercy and kindness under grace instead of through judgment and punishment under the law.
