“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23
The Bible lays things out pretty clearly in black and white. God gives us His Word to guide us, correct us, and show us how He calls us to live. But somewhere in the middle of knowing what is right and wrong, we must remember that there is room for grace.
Grace doesn't mean we ignore God's Word or make excuses for sin. It means we remember that we are all a work in progress. We all have moments when we fall short, make mistakes, struggle to get it right, or need a little more time to grow. If God gave us what we deserved instead of extending His grace, where would any of us be?
Sometimes we are quick to point out where someone else is wrong, forgetting the times God has been patient with us. We need to learn to stand firm in truth while still showing people the same mercy, patience, and love that God has shown us. We can hold on to God's standards without withholding His compassion.
Remember, Jesus never compromised the truth, but He met people with love and grace. So today, let's be careful not to use the Bible as a weapon against people who are struggling. Instead, let's use God's Word to lead people toward the One who can change their lives.
Grace doesn't change what is right and wrong; it reminds us that God still loves us while He's working on us. Give grace to others, give yourself grace as you grow, and never forget how much grace God has given you.
Remember what Pastor Jason says: “EGR.” Extra Grace Required ❤️
