Notes from MarkGrace and Gratitude. As believers who desire to actively live for Christ these two must bedemonstrated in our lives. I love what Dr. Selby preached two Sundays ago regarding this. It wassomethingthatmyheartandsoulneededtohear.Gratitudeandgrace fuels theChristianlife.Asweread andstudy theNewTestamentwesee thatgracepermeates everything. Thusour lives shouldhaveeverynookandcrannyfilledwiththegraceofJesusChrist.TheknowledgethatChrist’sgracehassavedusandchangedusintonewcreaturesshouldbeineverydetailofourlives.Itisineverythoughtwe have.We understand that there is absolutely nothingwe have done to deserve God’s love andsalvation and it shows in us. The action of gratitude becomes our lifestyle. This is something I amworkingon.Livingmylifesothatgratitudeshowstomyselfandothers.RealizingthatIamagratefulChristian in every circumstance.
