Undeserved Grace

  
Have you ever had that sudden feeling that you don't feel 'good enough' for the kingdom of Heaven? 

I have felt that way. 

It is then that I am reminded of God's amazing, undeserved grace that he gives to us on a daily basis... 
What is grace?

Grace simply means undeserved love and forgiveness. 

As humans, we are sinners. We sin on a daily basis and we will never be perfect. There only ever was and only will be one perfect person who walked this earth, Jesus Christ.

God, the maker of everything, the ultimate perfectionist, loved us. LOVED us. We are the ultimate sinners. We are far from perfect. So why does this God love us if his standards are perfect? 

Grace. 

God created us perfect, and yet even after we disobeyed him and caused his perfect world to be ruined,
he still loved us. Total undeserved grace.

We don't deserve God's unfailing love and forgiveness. We don't meet God's standards by a long shot.
Yet, God loves us. We don't meet his standards of perfection, but that is why God sent his only son, Jesus.

Jesus was perfect. That made him the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus died willingly for us on the cross.
He took the punishment we deserve. Three days after his death, Jesus rose again. Jesus Christ conquered death.

He showed us that by his conquering the grave, there is NOTHING that can keep us from the undeserved love and affection that God gives to us... Not even death.

God loves you. He wants you.

God already has your free gift of eternal life waiting for you, you just need to accept it. You aren't good enough, but you know what? God loves you anyways! 

That is Grace. God undeserved grace for us. He loves us even though we fail him on a daily basis.
He wants to help us. He wants us.  Just accept his free gift of grace and eternal life.
