Amazing GRACE

The movie "Amazing Grace" opened my eyes...

To see beyond what i have... beyond what we, fortunate folks possess.

To the injustices of this world.

To how much more we should show grace, the way Christ did.

To be set apart, consecrated from the world and to stand up for what we think is right.

To how AMAZING His grace is to us...who are so undeserving.



GRACE in general, according to the dictionary:

- a manifestation of favor

- mercy, pardon, clemency



GRACE theologically, according to the dictionary:

-	the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.

-	the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.

-	a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.

I just realised that there's a similarity in both the general and theological definitions of GRACE. Obviously, it's the word "favor" which i've typed in bold.


Then, i realised... it's the manifestation of favor from one person to another AND it's the manifestation of UNMERITED favor and love of God towards men respectively.

Unmerited?? It has many definitions. So, i dictionary.com-ed.
MERIT: to be worthy of, to deserve.

I was like...., "Ahhhh... i see.

" It's God's manifestation of favor and love to those who are not worthy of & who do not deserve it."


BINGO!
