GRACE

This month, my church discuss about GRACE. This is a very interesting topic for me.
What is grace exactly?
To me, grace is an undeserved favor that we received. A free gift that God gave to us WITHOUT our work. So grace is simply a present from God :)
The first time I heard about grace, I'm confused. What is grace? Why people sang it as Amazing Grace? I don't get it. But, as usual, God always gives me the knowledge and wisdom I needed. He taught me things that I don't understand through people around me. He is amazing, isn't He? :)
And then I got the teaching about grace...and I don't believe it hahaha..
First I don't understand it, then I don't believe it... LOL
I'm a very logical person. As for me, I don't believe things simply. For me, seeing is believing. :D
So, grace for me is not logical. How come a great GOD, wants to come down to earth, just to save us free from death and sin, and all our sin WASHED away by Him? and we don't have to do ANYthing. we just receive it. just acknowledge Him as saviour and God....
it's EVERYTHING for NOTHING.. We are all saved by grace. None of us deserved the salvation that comes from God. But guess what? Jesus came 2000 years ago, just to save us FREELY, cause He loves us THAT much. Isn't it amazing? I am forever grateful to have Him in my life. He walks with me everyday, gives me everything I need, makes way for me...He's..awesome... :")
I read a quote from my church magz, it says, to understand grace, u have to experience it first. U have to experience it vertically and then u would say, ahhh so this is grace, huh? :D
