What is Grace?

Grace says, I am not perfect, and God knows that I cannot be perfect. When I accept Jesus and the indwelling of His Spirit I am under grace and not the laws of sin and death.
Grace says that God cut a covenant with HIMSELF because man could not be good enough or perfect enough to keep a covenant with God. This is why the Israelites failed. This is why the law failed.
Grace says that God can use us even in our imperfection.
Grace says we do our best and if we fail we repent and try again, we try as many times as it takes, but we are always forgiven.
Grace says that anything that God has is ours, we don't have to struggle, don't have to beg, don't have to battle, we just have to know it is ours and receive it, whether it is a healing or poverty or a need.
Grace says that we are free from karma, from the consequences of our actions here on earth or at judgement.
Grace says that we are TRULY FREE.

I always say my momma didn't name me Grace for a very good reason.

Come on, guys, this is a serious topic.
It is telling you that while you think you are free, you are in bondage to the world, the ways of the world, yourself, your sins, your pride, and that YOU will reap the consequences of your actions and sins. You know, the wages of sin are death.

And I'm telling you that that is your dogma talking. Not all here are of the same mind.
I am free because my mind is free.

Guys, lets let her have here own little thread and see if SOC joins in and we can just watch...
Of course, they will do goofball posts that are so ludicrious that we'll just have to laugh at them.
I think Bev wants to make Christianity look like a dope show

Mom, you, not us, will reap the consequences, even right here on earth of what you do everyday. That is far from being free. You are bound to a dead man, Buddha, that is not free.

No, rought, that is EXACTLY what the Bible says. Jesus set those who believe in Him free of that law of sin and death. He was perfect and righteous for us, we have HIS righteousness and perfectness. We don't have to worry about not being perfect, for NO ONE is without sin or can be perfect. We just don't reap those rewards, here or in the hereafter. If you are not a Christain, YOU DO.

You know the more you post the longer it gets. Kind of like Pinocchio's nose.

Hammer, do you think I care about something as stupid as that, considering you have 13000 posts to my 10000.
