What is grace?

What is grace?  It is Goodness Released At Christ’s Expense.  How amazing is that?  At some point in our lives we have all experienced grace in one form or the other.  However, when you understand what was exacted from Christ for us to have that grace, it becomes overwhelming.  There are so many times during the course of a day that we need an extra measure of grace just to make it through day-to-day living experiences.  Many times we are the ones that are called on to extend grace to someone that may not really deserve it.    Those are EGN situations, Extra Grace Needed.  But are any of us really deserving of what Christ did on the cross for us?  Of course we aren’t.  We all, at some point fall into the Extra Grace Needed category.  We are all sinners and there is not one person that deserved that kind of grace.  God knew that then and He knows it now.  Grace is God’s way of giving us what we don’t deserve and His mercy is not giving us what we do.
