Strive to take God's Grace too far...

     I believe we are naturally afraid of grace, we are taught there is no free lunch or there is nothing of value that is not earned. Maybe we might be believing.... "If we let this grace thing get out of hand, what will people do?" "Will everyone just go crazy in sin?" " Who will serve God if they don't feel forced to serve?" " Will God's law be trampled?"
     Consider John 1:14-18, Jesus Christ is full of grace and truth.
     We as believers can accept that God is Truth; Jesus is God; He is the Word; He is the ultimate Truth. We can accept that Christ is the One who perfectly kept all of God's law. So what are we to think about all this "full of grace" stuff?

     Jesus Christ is completely full of God's Grace. Consider taking God's Grace too far, imagine if you take God's Grace so far, I mean so far that you are full of it (you can't go any farther than full, right?) Where does this complete and total grace lead? Of course,the only place it can lead is to Jesus Christ. If we are filled with God's Grace, we keep God's Laws, because Christ fulfills the law through us. If we surrender to Christ and allow His Life to live through us, how will He live? Amazing...His amazing Grace!!
