The first gift God gives us is the gift of grace.
God is the God of grace among other things.
God gives grace when we don't understand, when we mess up, we take more time than God wants, or when we don't do what he wants or don't do it right away.
God is gracious to His people.
God knows we will mess up, for if we were to be perfect, we would all be going to hell. That is why God gives us grace because the only perfect one who ever walked this earth was Jesus.
Grace is freely given
There is nothing we have to do to receive grace.
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him. Isaiah 30:18 ASV
God wants us to have His grace.
More verses about grace and God wanting this for us.
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6 ESV
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. John 1:16 ESV
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 ESV
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14 ESV
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, Ephesians 2:8 ESV
These are just a few verses that talk about grace and us. If you look at the last verse you will see that I did not come up with this being a gift from God but the Bible itself says grace is a gift from God.
Accept and praise God for grace today as the gift that is freely given to you for Tomorrow, we look at the second gift from God.
Just these verses shared today from this blog God told me, but He also told me to tell you to take time and look up grace on your own.
