God's Grace - What it is and what is it for?

Often heard words are usually less meditated ones and "God's Grace" is one such word. Christians, in general, take pride in defining God's Grace as

• Unconditional Love shown to unqualified persons
• God's Riches At Christ's Expense

But is that the reason and end of God's Grace; Question we need to answer is - What can I do, if I receive God's grace. God shows His Grace to everyone; that's first part. On receiving God's Grace what do we do? That's the second part. The Bible focuses on this aspect or the second part of God's Grace. We need to focus on our part i.e. the second part; whereas we focus on God's part, i.e. the first part. While God shows his mercy unconditionally, freely to everyone, there's still our part that needs to be done, which completes the purpose of God's grace.

What did Noah do with God's Grace? Did Noah escape the flood with God's Grace? No - with God's Grace Noah was able to believe what's unseen and build an ark for 120 years and did everything He commanded; that's the purpose of God's Grace. While all Israelites received God's grace, it was Joshua and Caleb who did their part and completed God's purpose. By the Grace of God, Churches of Macedonia gave above and beyond their power. God's grace does not stop at receiving the grace but flows through while we exhibit that.

God's Grace enables us to go the second mile; while everyone receives God Grace, as a child of God we need to make a difference and exhibit God's grace. Practical Christianity � that's what God's Grace is for. If we don't use God's Grace, then we don't fulfill God's Grace.

As Christians, who use the term 'God's Grace' in every sentence, do we exhibit God's Grace or use God's Grace a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord, in our actions.
