Grace does not negate responsibility it empowers it.



“But he gives more grace.” James 4

When we hear the word grace we usually think of God’s forgiveness. But grace is so much more, and His forgiveness is only the starting place for a partnership with Him. It may sound too good to be true, but the very reason God gives us grace is to personally empower us to live wonderfully fruitful lives. Grace does not offer forgiveness as an end to itself but to position us to receive power to live life as He intends. Conversations Within” ts 6/26/2013 (Chuck and Carla’s, AL)
