Grace is not a "Get Out of Sin Free" card. Nor is it "Sloppy Agape." It is a force, and it is powerful. Years ago, I developed a working definition after an exhaustive study.
Grace is God's power, strength, ability, authority, and favor to do what you cannot, in and of yourself, do. It's not weak nor is it passive. It is an active and powerful force.
The force of Grace offers salvation, teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldliness, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age.
No Sloppy Agape here. Receive God's Grace and activate its full force to honor God with your life today. - Pastor Jimmy
