I spent much of my life not knowing what grace was. To me, it was a religious word which meant basically God giving us Jesus Christ when we didn't deserve it. That is true but that is just saving grace. Recently I learnt the importance of grace in a Christian's life, and this is the greatest God hack you can ever learn.
In Summary (verse references coming soon)
1. Grace can only be obtained by being humble.
2. Grace is the power to do what God wants you to do
3. Ask God for grace who gives liberally
4. Without grace, you're without God's help - and without God you can do nothing.
(a)You can't overcome sin without grace! (this may be worth a separate post but one of Christianity's greatest misunderstandings is that once you are a Christian, you can resist sin automatically)
(b) You can't follow God well without grace
Get grace from God and your life will start to show forth the Christlikeness that is expected of a Christian.
