As far as the Apostle Paul was concerned, the most important part of the gospel message revolves around the word: grace (Rom 1:5-7; Philippians 1:2; Philemon 1:3)…an impact felt throughout his life (1 Tim 1:12-14).
His early years were spent in un-grace, persecuting the church (Acts 7:54-8:3; 9:1- 2)…until he saw the light (Acts 9:3-4).
Not only did the grace of God descend on him (1 Cor 15:9-10) but it also became the central part of his message of salvation for all of us as well (Eph 2:4-9).
Today we need to decide whether we are going to live by grace or power (un-grace) in all our dealings in life…with ourselves and with others.
