~ Giving Grace to others ~
In Romans, Paul tells us all about God's mercy and grace. And then in chapter 12, he tells us that our right response should be to present ourselves as living sacrifices to God. He then explains to us how we can do that.
For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think... (Rom 12:3)
If we really understand how God poured out his grace, kindness and love unto us, while we were still sinners, then we should in turn extend that grace onto others.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse. (ROM 12:14)
Experiencing His grace ourselves is the source of the grace that we are able to extend. We need to be willing to extend the grace to others that we ourselves have needed so desperately.
Rejoice with rejoicing ones, and weep with weeping ones; (ROM 12:15)
It shouldn't matter how others are. Grace is unconditional. In other words, it's not earned.
Repay no one evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (ROM 12:17)
All men. All people. If we are to extend grace to our enemies, even to those who hurt and persecute us, consider how much more grace should we extend to those we love? To our husbands, children, and friends?
If it is possible, as far as is in you, be in peace with all men. (ROM 12: )
This is how we represent our Lord Jesus to the world. We are told that with His power, we are His witness. His letter.
it having been made plain that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, not having been written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but in fleshly tablets of the heart. (2Co 3:3)
Have you experienced God's grace yourself? How are you doing at extending that same grace towards others? Can others look at you and be able to see Christ's character? Ask Him to help you understand and grow in His grace.
Walk in LOVE!
