Amazed by Grace

This is my first blog ever, and I thought it would be a good thing to share with my brothers and sisters. As I’ve been reading through the Old Testament, I have become more aware of God’s amazing grace. In the old days, God’s people had to do extremely specified rituals to cleanse themselves to even enter into the presence of God. Now, God sees us holy and clean because He died for us. He came from heaven to earth to cleanse us so that He could dwell within us all the time to have relationship with us. All because of His amazing mercy and grace. In light of this, dear brothers and sisters, we should do joyfully what Paul urges in Romans 12:1-2… offer ourselves as living sacrifices unto Him. Living in the same type of faith that Joshua and Caleb had as they stood up to the other Israelites to be firm in the Lord and trust Him to lead the people into the promised land… even at the risk of being stoned to death. Living in faith even when it is the most unpopular, costly thing to do. All because of God’s amazing grace.
