A WORD FOR TODAY – TUESDAY 31^st AUGUST 2010 

Plan ahead - It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

Why does God give grace?

Why does God offer grace?

The bible says that God is rich in mercy because of his great love. It's his nature. That's what he's like.

How can God give grace?

How can a holy God give grace to sinners when sin is such an offence to him? This is perhaps the most awesome thing of all. Logic tells us that God can only love us in our saved, sinless state; but this is not how he has acted:

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

- Romans 5:6-7

All that we can say is that God has chosen to give us grace, and he is sovereign. Even when we were contaminated and infected with sin, he saw something in us to love.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Be blessed today

Shalom    שלום
