What Grace Declares…

If we are to receive Grace…we must understand what Grace declares:

Grace makes three proclamations.

First, only God can forgive my godlessness. “Only God can forgive sins” (Mark 2: 7). Dealing with my sins is God’s responsibility. I repent, I confess, but only God can forgive. (And he does.)

Second, only God can judge my neighbor. “You cannot judge another person’s servant. The master decides if the servant is doing well or not” (Rom. 14: 4). Dealing with my neighbor is God’s responsibility. I must speak; I must pray. But only God can convince. (And he does.)

Third, I must accept who God accepts. “Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring glory to God” (Romans 15:7)
