Many times God puts difficult people in our lives – not to test our patience – but so we can shine the spotlight of God’s grace in their lives. Remember, Jesus says, “You are the light of the world.” And the way you shine your light is by peddling grace to people who need grace! Because that’s what God did for you, when He saved you.

God has revealed His kindness and love to us in Jesus. God has given us mercy in Jesus. God has washed us clean through Jesus. God has made us alive with Jesus. God has declared us innocent of guilt and made us totally acceptable in His presence. And now the gospel has given us a place to belong with God forever. That’s why the good news changes everything for us. And why everyone needs the gospel.

I don’t know of anything more discouraging than life without hope. And God’s Word gives us hope in spades! Hope to change. Hope that no matter what chaos is swirling around us, God is in control. Hope for help in whatever we are facing. Hope for encouragement when our souls are downcast. Hope for forgiveness when we blow it. Hope in the truth that God will never let you go. Hope in the face of suffering and death. And hope for the day when we see Jesus face to face. God’s Word can give you hope.

Each biblical writer was moved by the Holy Spirit to write what God wanted them to write. How that benefits us, is that God used their personalities, their writing styles, their perspectives, and their cultural distinctives to show us God’s truth in everyday situations.

The more you allow grace to do its work in you, the more the passions of the world begin to loosen their grip on you. The cravings of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boasting of what you have and do – those things that so characterize the pursuits of the world… they are weakened and even put to death by grace.

But the biggest transformation Jesus makes is in our relationship with God: God is no longer some abstract, unapproachable judge. He becomes our Father, our “abba” who delights in us, sings over us, and gives us access to His presence. So with transformed affection for God we find ourselves wanting to pray, delighting in praise and growing in thanks for all He has given us in Jesus. And as a result of this new affection, we find ourselves wanting to please Him in every way.
Life In The Story of God: The Story So Far

- God's faithfulness
- Genesis
God’s faithfulness to us is dependent upon His character. And that’s good news. We are prone to wander, even though we’ve been delivered from the power of the flesh by the blood of Christ, the flesh in us still works to reclaim its power over us. The flesh in us still wants to lead us, call the shots and get us to live by the flesh rather than by faith. So sometimes we will sin, sometimes we might even walk away from God for a season. But God will never walk away from us.
