~ AMAZING GRACE ~

{Jesus said,} "God so Loved the World that He gave His only begotten

Son, that whoever Believes in Him should not Perish but

have Everlasting Life."

JOHN 3:16 NKIV

During a Conference on World Religions held in Great Britain, some o the greatest Theologians in the World began a friendly Debate as to what Belief ~ if any ~ in the Christian Faith made it unique from the other Religions of the World.

The Debate soon grew heated as possibilities were considered and eliminated. Could it be the Incarnation? No, there were other Religions that had Gods who took on the form of a Human. Could it be the Resurrection? No, there were some Religions in the World that held claim to accounts of a return from death.

Eventually C.S. Lewis entered the room to see what the commotion was about, and when he heard the topic up for Debate, he nonchalantly responded. "Oh, that's easy! It's GRACE." After further discussion, the "Experts" had to agree.

The idea that God freely offers Salvation ~ no matter what good or bad deeds we have done ~ is unique among all Religions of the World. Buddhists in China, Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Hindus in India ~ all are seeking a way to Please God by the things that they do, the Sacrifices they make, the Penances they perform. But God's Love is Unconditional: Your performance doesn't matter!

Jesus has already paid the price ~ and because of "HIS SACRIFICE", "GOD'S GRACE" is available to you today. All you have to do is "ACCEPT IT".

No wonder the Famous Hymn calls this sort of GRACE, "AMAZING"!

GRACE FOR TODAY:

Salvation cannot be earned. It is a "Freely Given Gift", unearned and unmerited.

Let us seek Peace and not Confusion . . .

God is not the Author of Confusion,

but of Peace, as in all Churches of the Saints

1 Corinthians 14:33

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Hatred and Bitterness

can never cure the

disease of Fear; only

Love can do that.

Love is Patient, Love is Kind . . .

Love does not delight in evil but

Rejoices with the Truth. It always Protects,

always Trusts, always Hopes, always Perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4, 6 ~ 7 NIV
