    What is the grace of GOD?
             The 
    grace of 
                  
    God says you serve God because
                    
    you're saved, not in order to be  
                 
    love people because 
                
    you're saved, and not in 
               
    order to be saved. 
         
    
                
    You're not trying to keep
              a 
    legalistic system, 
               
    you're responding to a
                
    system of love and peace.
              
    What is grace?
               
    It's what someone gives us
              
    out of the goodness of 
              
    their hearts, not out
               
    of the perfection of ours. 
             The 
    story of grace 
             is the 
    good news 
           
    
                   
    that says that when we come,
                   
    he gives. That's what grace is.
                   
    Grace is a pleasant surprise. 
                    
    Grace is a kind gesture. 
                  
    Grace is something 
                   
    you did not expect.
          
    
                    
    It is something you certainly 
                   
    could never earn.
                     
    But grace is something 
                     
    you'd never turn down.
                    
    You know what happens 
                  
    when someone sees 
                   
    the grace of God? 
          
    
                     
    When someone really tastes
                      
    the forgiving and liberating 
                    
    grace of God. Some-
                    
    one who tastes God's 
                      
    grace is the hardest worker,
                    
    the most morally pure 
                    
    individual, and the person
                    
    most willing to forgive.
              
    
                       
    Note: "Jesus say's, My grace is  
                          
    deeper than your sins.
