*What is Grace?*

What is Grace? Basically grace is recieving something you do not deserve. It's similiar to your going out to a job site and you do absolutly nothing and you receive a paycheck anyway. Grace is found throughout the Earth every day. The United States of America was founded upon grace. We have been given grace when we abide by the constitution of the United States. We have freedom to worship God. We have the opportunity to get to know this God in a personal way. It is by His grace that we have been given the scriptures to search and  know His wisdom and way to live. We have freedom to love our brothers and sisters; red and yellow, black and white. He gives to all regardless of race or culture, and He loves everyone of us. We love because He first loved us. 1st John 4:19 We as well have freedom to love those who are lost in the darkness and do not have the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord; our God. It is grace that gives us the eyes to see the reality of what Jesus did for us. He made us able to live forever and enter in the Heavens gates, enabling us to see our family members who have died before us. Perhaps you can see His grace on the food stamps that are given out everyday? Not one of those people receiving the food stamps have deserved to get the help that is given graciously. There does come a time when we should not need the help of the food stamp program. The Bible tells us that a man needs to work for their living. We as a people and a nation need to grow up. We can't always depend on the government to supply our needs for us. This has been God's grace in having given us help. But we could see this as a catalyst to lead us into the redemption God has for all people. In His time, He meets all of our needs. He gives us help, and when we receive the help we then use that to help others move on to a better and fruitful lives. The Lord does not want anyone to be lost, but to turn our eyes to Him, that we might not perish. 2 Peter 3:9. He is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish......read the verse please.
