“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.” -1 Timothy 1:12-14
Paul was very open about who he used to be before Jesus and very clear on how much grace was poured into his life! Paul called God’s grace abundant (v.14) and he seemed to live with a continual awareness of that amazing grace!
Everyone has a unique story before they made their commitment to Jesus. For some, they experienced grace at a young age and others later in life. Some people experienced grace out of horrible circumstances and others experienced grace while living a fairly moral and productive life. However, the thing we all had in common is that God’s grace was sufficient, abundant, and far more than we deserved!
If you think you were a pretty good person that just needed some life adjustments, you will lose sight of all Jesus accomplished for you on the cross! Without Christ, you were headed to hell, dead in your sin, and lost spiritually!
When we fail see to see the greatness of God’s grace for us, it deadens our worship and lessens the passion we have for Him!
If you ever feel like you have lost your desire to worship and your heart is not in it anymore, reflect on the amazing grace of God for you personally! Consider all that He has accomplished in your life since you placed your faith in Him!
Take time to reflect on how abundant God's grace has been for you and bring that to Him in worship! Through the lens of God's amazing grace, we can finally see how far away we were and how close He has brought us! We were once strangers and now we are His children (Ephesians 2:19). Never lost sight of the grace of God in your life because He never lost sight of you!
Right on?
Read/listen to 2 Thessalonians chapters 2-3 and 1 Timothy chapter 1
Prayer focus: talk to God about how massive His grace has been in your life, how far away you used to be, and thank Him for how close He is to you now
