Yes! That is my question! What is Grace, where can we buy it?
No my friend! Grace is not for sale! Grace is:
The acceptance of an undeserved favor!
Grace is Love! Grace is Mercy, Compassion, Grace is Forgiveness!
And its cost was so great that with all the money on the world….
WE CANNOT BUY IT!
Is that so?
Of course!It cost to God to sacrifice his only Son on a cross to obtain it,
and to give it as a present to whom with humbleness wants to receive it!
I’m sorry but I don’t know what you are talking about!
What is Grace for?
Very well! I am going to explain it to you with more detail:
Have you ever been in a bull fight?
Yes! I have, but I don’t know what Grace has to do with it?
Listen:
In a bull fight,“El matador”as we call them, or bull fighter if you
please,has to pass the bull thru a red cape many times until the bull is exhausted,exhibiting this passes as an art, and, depending the fieriness of the bull it is considered a good bull!
A bull with caste, from a good breed!
So, after the “Matador “Finishes with the bull, he picks up a long sword,
and stucks it all the way into the bulls body,killing him almost instantly!
When the people considers that it was a fierce bull, they take out white
handkerchiefs and shake them up on the air showing the judge of the
event that they don’t want the bull to be killed!
If the judge considers that they are enough of them, he makes a signal
to the bull fighter to spare the life of the bull! To indult it!
To pardon it!
I am going to tell you again: What does a bull fight has to do with Grace?
I’ll tell you: When we sin, the violation of God’s Law, condemn us to die!
Sin is to hurt people, and death is the penalty!
Contrary to the bull, in order to be spared, we have to talk directly to
the Supreme Judge and beg Him for our indult, or forgiveness!
He knew we were sinners and also that we were unable to pay the high
price for Grace so He sent his Son, innocent of any sin, or guilt to pay
for our debt, granting us as an unworthy gift: His Grace.
An undeserved favor Jesus Christ gives us just for believing in Him!
Grace is not for sale! We simply accept it, or reject it!
Pride makes us to reject it! Humbleness to accept it
The bull after was indulged, never goes back to the arena for another
encounter with the bull fighter, because this time he may be killed!
We, people, after we have been forgiven, should not return to the “arena”
of sin, we should remain clean! To give…GLORY TO GOD!
TO BE CONTINUED….
