Have we really understood the fullness of grace? How has grace manifested itself in your life? What does 'grace' mean specifically in reality to you?

Listen as Jill takes us on a journey through the scriptures and opens up new dimensions of the power of God's grace that we may not have seen - such as the way God's grace enables us to live a life that would be totally impossible according to our natural gifts and abilities.

Jill makes the following three points about grace and expands on them to bring deep revelation:

1. You cannot possibly earn it or deserve it.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8)

2. Grace is not cost-less. It cost the giver everything.

"There is no difference between Jew or Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of His blood - to be received by faith." - Romans 3:22-25

3. You must choose to accept it.

Jill explains that Jesus was willing to go ahead and pay the price for us, whether we would accept it or not. Grace so shocks us by what it offers, that we sometimes find it difficult to receive. We must choose to receive it, but not in vain (2 Cor 6:1).

Is there more of God's grace for you to comprehend and receive than you have known thus far?

"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord" - 2 Peter 1:2
