A faith that magnifies grace
Verse of the day: I do not cancel God’s grace (Galatians 2. 21).
- When I lost my balance in the violent waves of the beach as a child.
- I felt like I was going to be dragged into the middle of the ocean in an instant.
It was a terrible thing. I tried to find my way and figure out how to get up. But I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground and the force of the waves was too strong to swim. Anyway, he wasn’t a good swimmer.
In my panic, I only thought of one thing: could anyone help me?But I couldn’t even call because I was underwater.
When I felt my father’s hand hold my arm like a powerful claw, it was the sweetest feeling in the world. I gave up completely to feel overwhelmed by his strength. I hope you’ll hold me as far as I can. I couldn’t resist.
I didn’t think I should try to show that things weren’t too bad; or add my strength to my father’s arm. All I thought was, yeah! I need you! Thank you very much! I love your strength! I love your initiative! I love your catch! You are excellent!
In this spirit of abandoned affection, no one can boast. I call this abandoned affection “faith. ” And my father was the embodiment of the future grace he desired underwater. It is faith that magnifies grace.
As we ponder how to live the Christian life, the highest thought should be: how can I magnify, rather than undo God’s grace?Paul answers this question in Galatians 2: 19-21: “I am crucified with Christ, therefore I am not already the one who lives, but Christ lives in me; and this life that I now have in the flesh, I live it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Am I not canceling God’s grace?
Why doesn’t your life nullifies God’s grace?Because he lives by faith in the Son of Dios. La faith draws all attention to grace and magnifies it, rather than canceling it.
