Becoming Grace-Oriented
By Pastor Jon Courson




Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, ...
2 Peter 1:2

The more knowledge you have of Jesus Christ, the greater understanding you'll have that our God is truly a God of grace.

At the outset of his ministry, Billy Graham was referred to as 'God's Machine Gun'. But as he went on in his knowledge of the Lord, he found himself becoming more and more oriented towards grace - so much so that many Christians today scratch their heads and wonder how he can be open to so many. 'That denomination can't be Christian,' they scoff. Or, 'Surely, those people can't be saved.' But Billy has a way of being incredibly embracive without compromising. And in his own writings, he explains that as he grows older in the Lord, he's more and more amazed by the grace of the Lord.

The older you grow in the Lord, the more grace-oriented you'll be as you realize the Christian life is all about Jesus and the undeserved, unearned favor He lavishes upon us so freely due to the finished work of Calvary.

The result?

Unmistakable, undeniable, unshakable peace - for truly grace and peace walk hand in hand.

I agree and want to add that this knowledge is not just reading and hearing about God but experiencing God in every day life.

If not for God's grace I would not have been where I am today because I had no chance with what life dealt me - but fortunately with the grace of God working in my life I do have what I don't deserve.

Great subject, I love talking about the grace of God.

Blessings!
