Regardless of the pivotal role it plays in our lives we often unknowingly think of grace as something that we should avoid, hear me out. We as humans tend to strive for perfection, we don’t want to taint our reputation even though we all have and will continue to fall short of the glory of…
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:8-10). Grace…
