WEEK TWO | DAY SIX
“For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” —Romans 6:14
Have you ever received a gift or given a gift that didn’t last for long? Maybe it broke, or the batteries ran down or it was poorly made to begin with. There can be a sense of almost childlike disappointment that comes when a gift breaks or doesn’t meet expectations, even if you are not a child. It looked bigger, sturdier, prettier or cooler online than in person. And what about gifts that “run out”? The subscription, the box of candy, the new art supplies…
The gift of God’s grace—when we are able to recognize it—never disappoints. It surpasses expectations. All we deserve is death, and yet Christ died in our place. We have been given life! We can’t earn it and there is nothing we can do to deserve it. No one can break it or take it away. If we are in Christ, we are forever under grace.
Grace never runs out. And it can always be shared. You can share it through a conversation, or a book—God’s Word!
You can share God’s grace in partnership with Frontier Fellowship as we seek to engage the world’s least-reached peoples. You can also share it with your neighbors, family and friends. What an amazing gift to be able to tell someone that God’s grace overcomes sin and death. This Advent season, seek to share the Good News of the grace that reaches past the manger and directly into the lives of those Jesus came to save.
