Title: Path of Grace
Contents:
Just as the hardened ground softens when it rains, the hardened human heart becomes soft and fluffy when it receives grace.
Just as rain pours down from heaven, grace comes down from heaven, and rain rejuvenates the dry and revives the dead, so grace heals the sick and revitalizes the stagnant places to create a new person (a new home). Grace is sweeter the more you eat it, and the more you receive it, the more you gain strength.
① Give comfort and joy to the sad
② Give rest and peace to the afflicted
③ It is God's grace to give purity and beauty to the ugly.
Where does this grace come from?
1. God's grace comes from above.
Christianity is not a poor religion or a powerless religion that sells a spring on earth, but a religion that wins by drinking the Bread of Grace and the living water of the Holy Spirit, poured out by my Father himself from heaven.
2. God's grace comes through spiritual worship.
Just because God's grace comes from above doesn't mean that it is unconditionally given to everyone. God gives grace like drizzle or waterfall through spiritual worship.
First, there must be a prayer of contrite that tears the heart, not the clothes.
Second, there must be passionate praise that sheds tears of emotion.
Third, there must be a precious and blessed gift with all your heart and sincerity.
Fourth, there must be gracious words that change the saints.
The parched and parched land of Israel is a lesson to our hearts.
3. God's grace comes when faith is restored.
People don't do it by faith, but by their talents and tricks. They try to do God's work with experience or the logic of the world. Look at the apostle Paul. I confessed that it was the grace of God that I became who I was. It means that I have lived by the grace of God.
When your faith is restored, you become strong and courageous. Become a rising saint. Become a diligent saint.
The way the saints live is the way to receive grace. The way of grace of the saints comes only from Jesus Christ, who is the life, from the temple of the Lord, from the proclamation of the word of God and from the bread of life.
The way of grace we live is only the blessing of God that comes down from above. It is true grace when we restore our faith.
