Grace Greater than My Sins

Time 2 Dine reading-Gospel of John 1:1-28; Psalms 101:1-5

"And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace & truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:16-17

G-R-A-C-E=God's Riches At Christ's Expense; Grace is not God excusing my sin, nor Him minimizing my sin but His looking my sin in the face in all its ugliness and forgiving me. I deserve God's worst but because of Christ Jesus His Son I get His Best.

Scott Wesley Brown's song "Grace Alone"

Every promise we can make –
Every prayer and step of faith –
Every difference we will make Is only by His grace

Every mountain we will climb –
Every ray of hope we shine –
Every blessing left behind Is only by His grace

Grace alone which God supplies –
Strength unknown He will provide Christ in us our Cornerstone –
We will go forth in grace alone

Every soul we long to reach
Every heart we have to teach –
Every where we share His peace Is only by His grace

Every loving word we say
Every tear we wipe away –
Every sorrow turned to praise Is only by His grace
