What's so amazing about Grace? Well let's unpack that!
I love the word picture of a staircase. Often when people think of Jesus they image Him high above us and a staircase of "works" that we have to accomplish in order to get close to Him. You have to be good, read you Bible, prayer x number of times a day, dress a certain way, act a certain way, have certain friend, talk a certain way, do enough charity work, give to charities etc etc. As if those are the things we have to do in order to get Jesus's approval. And if we don't do those things.. or worse we do "bad" things somehow that removes us further down the latter.
This couldn't be further from the truth.
Ephesians states that we are saved by grace alone! Jesus walked down that whole messy staircase of "good works" and passed all our failures and is standing with us ready to walk life out with you. Ready to show you who He is. Ready to show you who you truly are. And it's from that place that we are inspired to live a life full of amazing works.
Grace is incredible! This week as you declare the declaration keep that image in your mind.
