Text: 2 Corinthians 12:8-9: Three times I pleaded with the Lord

to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient
for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I
will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that
Christ's power may rest on me.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by GRACE ye are saved;) and
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might show the
exceeding riches of his GRACE in his kindness toward us through
Christ Jesus. For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man
should boast.

Title: If It Wasnt For Your Grace

There have been times in our lives where we have used the phrase.
If it wasnt for the Lord who was on my side I would be (Fill in
the Blank). We often find ourselves talking about how the Lord
has brought us out of fill in the blank. The fact that God has
given us more than we could ever ask for and that he wakes us up
everyday it is because of his grace. Lets stop right there Not
everyone who went to sleep last night is awake right now. Not
everyone who was alive yesterday is alive right now! It is because
of HIS grace that we can get up and do this thing over and over
again. God gives us chance after chance after change. We get at
least 365 chances a year on top of the other chances God gives us!

I want to break down this thing called Grace.

First thing I want to say is. We TAKE GRACE FOR
GRANTED!!!
Grace is the love that God shows us it is the mercy he gives us and
it isnt because we have done anything to earn it. It is the unearned
unmerited kindness, mercy, and forgiveness of God. It shows the
love he has toward us. Grace doesnt cost us anything it is
unexpected and 100% of the time undeserved. It is his favor
towards us. It is like the unconditional love He has for us so
unconditional he gave his SON to die for us to save us to pay the
price for us. I said Grace doesnt cost anything to us because
CHRIST PAID THAT DEBT!
