Sola Gratia Grace alone This is a proclamation that salvation is solely by grace alone. Grace being an unmerited favor/gift given to an undeserving party. We are that undeserving party who has received salvation and forgiveness of sin not based on any merit of ours but as a gift undeserved. We did absolutely nothing to deserve this great salvation yet God in his kindness chose to grant it to us. So salvation is by grace alone and not by anything we have done. We didnât muster enough inner strength or merits to acquire this. It was a gift, given to us, out of Godâs unmeasurable kindness. This is a reality I constantly struggle with not just in regards to salvation but on an everyday basis. How can still God tolerate a sinner like me? How can he still call me his own knowing what Iâve done even after he granted me this great salvation? Why does he still encouraging me to persevere despite the failures I constantly rememver? Why does he grant me favor knowing how sinful I am? Itâs his grace. Grace doesnât look at our merits our ability to hold up the requirements of Godâs law. How good or how versed we are in churchyanity. Grace looks at a sinner who doesnât deserve Godâs goodness and mercy and says âLetâs show this person how great your goodness and mercy isâ it runs out to meet you in your distress, in your miserable and damnable state and clothes you with abundance of mercy and goodness! It claims you as a member of Godâs family! Itâs my struggle but also my joy. My battle and my hope. We donât deserve His kindness yet his grace is what gives us access into his glorious kingdom. It opens the doors to the joys in store for all who hope in Him. Letâs not forget that we all need and benefit so much from Godâs amazing grace. Itâs by grace weâve been saved through faith and that not of our selves but it is a gift of God. #christianartist #christianart #christiancreative #illustration #illustrator #digitalpainter #solas #chrsitiangraphics #churchcreative #crtvchurch #prochurchmedia #photoshop #photoshoppainting #photoshopartist #worship #grace #drawmore #desiringjesus #jesuswins #jesusfollower #jesusart #deogloriaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAf739F0_x/?utm_medium=tumblr
