GRACE

JEREMIAH 2:29 (NLT)
"Why do you accuse me of doing wrong?
You are the ones who have rebelled,”
says the LORD.


ROMANS 3:23-24 (CEV)
All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through the actions of Christ, God treats us better than we deserve.

PRAYER
I'm grateful today, God, for the gift of salvation that comes to us through Christ Jesus. I confess that sometimes I feel and act like I'm entitled to your attention, when in fact I'm as rebellious as the rest. Help me to begin to grasp the expanse of your grace. I'm going to live by grace. Amen.
