Hello friend, and welcome to Empowered Faith Media, where we share the perfect love of Christ in an imperfect world.
I’ve been thinking a lot about grace lately, about how I don’t deserve it, and yet God extends it to me anyway. For years, I believed I had to do more: pray more, serve more, attend church more, be “better,” try harder. Without realizing it, I was treating grace like something I had to earn, and if I didn’t measure up, maybe God wouldn’t want me anymore. But that’s not what grace is. Grace is God’s unconditional, unwavering love poured over us, not because of who we are, but because of who He is.
Grace transforms our relationship with God from striving to resting. Scripture reminds us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). God isn’t waiting for us to perform; He’s inviting us to be with Him. Grace means we can come boldly to God even when we’re tired, empty, or imperfect, and still be met with love.
So, what is grace? It’s God giving us what we could never earn: forgiveness, mercy, fresh starts, and strength for the journey. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9). Grace changes how we see ourselves. It frees us from fear and draws us into deeper relationship with God, not through pressure, but through love.
We show grace to others by choosing kindness over judgment, offering compassion, forgiving when it’s difficult, and remembering that every person is a work in progress—just like us. And can we lose grace? No. Grace is not fragile. It is anchored in God’s character, not our perfection. Romans 5:20 reminds us, “Where sin increased, grace increased all the more.”
