DENNIS Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. What do you know about grace? It’s a word that shows up in the Bible a lot. In it, there are statements such as, “you have been saved by grace through faith,” and “from his fullness we have received grace upon grace.” There must be something very special about grace. It is important for us to realize that grace is how we know God loves us. In fact, he loves us so much that he came into the world in the person of Jesus Christ in order to save us. Jesus revealed himself as being God’s Son. The Bible described God’s Son as being full of grace and truth. Through faith, Jesus gives us this wonderful gift that is said to be “grace upon grace.” In other words, it is a gift we simply can’t wrap our minds around, because it is something sufficient enough to sustain us when we fall. See, failure doesn’t nullify grace. Instead, it is free flowing from the love of God. It’s so powerful that one could say that our salvation depends on it. If you want to learn why grace is so important, then let me invite you to Central, as we seek to grow in the knowledge and experience of God’s amazing grace.
