Grace Quote

In Himself, God is love; through Him, love is manifested, and by Him, love is defined and grace magnified…

The Old (Testament) is in the New (Testament) revealed; the New (Testament) is in the Old (Testament) concealed. Jesus through the Cross was the Mediator. If we can’t see what Jesus had done, we can never understand the NEW... When we don’t see the NEW, we have missed His grace.

Grace is not something we can earn or buy. There's no way we can earn or deserve the grace of God anymore than we can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks. A good night's sleep is grace and so are good dreams. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving us is grace. Most of all, His death on the Cross for us originated grace…

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...

Mercy, regarding salvation says, “No Hell.” Grace, regarding salvation says, “Heaven.”

Psalm 8:3 ~ 4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

Quotations

I read all types of book written by reputed preachers in my early Christian life. I would record down those phases which I thought meaningful. But as I read through this lists of quotation this morning, I found myself able to discern what is the bone and what is the flesh. So I began to harvest the fishes and throw away the fishing hook, the string, fishing rod as well as the fisherman. Before I was enlightened by grace, I swallow everything, including the fisherman's boots.

These are the few that leave standing and surprisingly, these are the phases that I did not quite understand then. I suppose these phases are of gold, sliver and precious stone which could withstand the fire.
