The Benefit of Grace
Grace is such a beautiful gift, and we see it over and over again throughout the Bible.
If God, the only all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly holy being, has “removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west,” then why are we so adamant about holding on to our sin – or the sin of others against us?
Could it be that we are still trying to earn our keep and prove our worthiness by continually recognizing our failures? Could it be that we don’t believe a good God could truly forgive us, so we have chosen not to forgive ourselves either? Could it be that we do not trust in God’s holiness, justice, and goodness?
Many of us, in order to live free, need to let go of our desire for revenge and extend grace.
