"grace, grace......

God's grace.

Grace that is greater than all our sin."

~

On Monday mornings

some of us ladies gather

over at the church to study God's word.

~

If you need a Bible study, this is a good one.

"Seeking Him" by Nancy Lee DeMoss & Tim Grissom.

~

This one goes deep into the word.

It forces us to look into our hearts

where all the secret sins are stored away.

I will never think about God's grace

in the same way again.

~

"Grace is the free gift of God

to those who have sinned against Him

and deserve only His wrath."

~
"Grace is that which God gives believers

to meet His requirements

and to face the difficulties of life."

~

"There is not one single aspect

of the Christian life

that we can handle apart from God's grace."

~

"God's grace is the dynamic quality

of His life within us

that gives us both the desire and the power to obey God."
~
All of the above are quotes taken directly from the study.

The last one is where I am working now.

~

Lastly is a quote from John Piper....

~

"Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned.

Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin.

Grace is power, not just pardon."

~

Grace as power not to sin is new to me.

I want to hold on to that truth and not forget.

I want it to be active in my heart.
