Grace of God

I recently started reading through the book of 2nd Corinthians. I thought that along the way I would share some of what I have gleaned from the word of God.

2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I just enjoy reading this verse. Take a moment and read it out loud. Go ahead, say it out loud. If someone is near you maybe they need to hear about God’s grace and peace. Soak it in. God’s grace is amazing. It is beyond our comprehension that God would love us so much that he would pay the price himself so that we could be in a right relationship with him even though we are sinners. God’s grace takes away that ultimate penalty for our sins. We who have sinned against the creator of the universe, who have committed high treason against the supreme ruler, are forgiven not because of anything we have done or could do to earn it but because of God’s gift of grace. Next time we will look at God’s peace.
