Grace like an unwritten word
Nestled in a signature of love
To grasp the perfect meaning
We seek the author of.
A hand freely extended
With mercy do I deserve;
And yet it overflows
By this one I chose to serve.
I look within my closet;
The secrets hidden there …
Overwhelmed arose a question --
How could you still care?
The words of truth proclaimed;
Sprang forth in the garden that day
Of the Seed that would be sown
To wipe our sins away.
This grace to cover my wrongs;
A balance no eye shall see,
And yet so undeserving,
Will set each captive free.
by Del Bates
"But now a righteousness from God, apart from law,
has been made known, to which the Law and the
Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes
through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through
faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice,
because in his forbearance he had left the sins
committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to
demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be
just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."
~Romans 3:21-26~
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became
poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich."
~2 Corinthians 8:9~
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
~Hebrews 4:16~
God gives His grace so rich, so free—
No one will He deny;
For He has promised in His Word
An infinite supply. —D. De Haan
*Grace is an unearned blessing to unworthy sinners.*
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again. --Flint
*Only foolish people twist God's grace to live as they
please; the wise trust God's grace and live as He pleases.*
“Our worst days are never so bad that you are
beyond the reach of|God's grace. And your best days
are never so good that you are beyond the need
of God's grace.” — Jerry Bridges
