Grace: God’s New Lifestyle

“And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.’” Luke 22:19-20

Jesus calls us to live life as representatives of His new covenant. It is a lifestyle controlled by grace, not human expectations. The life of grace is flavored with these characteristics:

Acceptance: No matter what your past contains, God loves you. He loved you before your birth, and He loves you now. He’s your eternal Source of hope and acceptance.

Assurance: Your salvation is eternally secure, because it is not based on something you do but what Christ did for you at Calvary.

Availability: God is in every situation with you. Seek Him and He will give you His rest and peace.

Adequacy: God’s power is adequate for every situation. Through the Holy Spirit, you can victoriously meet and defeat the lies of the enemy.

Abundance: God’s blessings are tailored to meet individual needs. Never measure the content of your life against someone else’s. God is constantly working for your good and His glory.

Abiding: God abides with His people, and He has promised never to leave us.

Accountability: God has never broken a promise. He is faithful and true. Give Him every part of your life, and by His grace you will experience everlasting joy and peace.
