Grace: The Divine Essence of Humanity (01/20/'24)

Grace: The Divine Essence of Humanity In the divine realm, love reigns supreme, a pure essence that God embodies. Yet, for humanity, our capacity to love is shadowed by our mortal nature; thus, grace becomes our guiding light. Absent this grace, the human spirit risks descending into vanity and superficiality. Grace, therefore, is not just an attribute but the very breath of our humanity. It is the divine wisdom, the 'mind of Christ', infused into our being by God. Through this gift, we embark on our journey of life, navigating its complexities with the grace bestowed upon us. It is a sacred heart, a divine legacy, urging us to extend ourselves in compassion towards others, especially the less fortunate. In embracing this grace, in turning it into acts of selfless love and kindness, we align ourselves with God's righteousness, becoming vessels of His love in the world. -Pastor Steven G.
