The Essence of Grace

A relationship with Jesus Christ is more than just working the mechanics of Christianity. To know Jesus is to know the grace of God, personally. It is essential for us as Christians not to get hung up on doing the right things for the sake of performing, but to discover the essence of Jesus, who is love. We remain humble and avoid pride and self-righteousness by always remembering that we are nothing without Him. Grace is the teacher who imparts to the believer the things of God. We no longer have to strive to be saved, blessed, righteous, or forgiven; Jesus has made available to us everything we could ever want or need in life.
