EXTENDING GRACE What incredible words! Although we may - TopicsExpress

EXTENDING GRACE What incredible words! Although we may understand them on an intellectual level, it can still be hard for us to accept Gods grace. Often, we try to be good enough because we cant seem to separate our value from our performance. To appreciate what Christ did for us on the cross, we have to be honest about the depth of our sin. This is painful but once we have truly experienced the extent of Gods grace, we can extend it to our children in a life-changing way. Knowing we are all sinners in need of grace, we can allow them to experience the consequences of their choices without condemning who they are as people. Follow Gods example of grace by offering unconditional love for the sinner while delivering consequences for the sin. Romans 8:1-2 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. 25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
