Question of the Day: How generous is God’s grace?
Read about It
Read: Ephesians 1:4–8
Even before He made the world, God loved us. He wants to make us His children and part of His family. God gives His grace to those who belong to Him. He shows them His kindness and love.
The words poured and showered in the Bible reading don’t mean just a little drop here and there. Think about when a rain shower comes down. There is water coming down all around. This is how God offers us His grace and kindness: generously!
Like the woman in our Bible story, we shouldn’t let our past sin and shame keep us from Jesus. He willingly gave His life for us on the Cross, so our sins could be forgiven! God chooses to forgive us when we ask, not because He has to, but because He wants to. It makes Him really happy to forgive us!
