Defined by Grace
Christ….raised us up together…..that….He might show the exceeding riches of His grace. Ephesians 2:5-6 NKJV
Grace defines you. As grace sinks in, earthly labels fade. Stupid. Unproductive. Slow learner. Fast talker. Quitter. Cheapskate. But as grace infiltrates, criticism disintegrates. You know you aren’t who they say you are. You are who God says you are. Spiritually alive. Heavenly positioned. Connected to the Father. A billboard of mercy. An honored child.
Of course, not all labels are negative. Some people regard you as handsome, clever, successful, or efficient. But even a White House office doesn’t compare with being “seated with Him in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 2:6 NLT). Grace creates the Christian’s resumé.
