Do you know the difference between God's Grace and Mercy?? Many Christians, and secular people, get these two beautiful words confused, so I am writing this to clarify the difference between the two words and hopefully you will learn from this and take it with you everywhere you go. Also, spread it around. Let everybody know what you know.:(Thanks to my parents and God for instilling this Godly knowlegde in me).<br />
<br />
GOD'S GRACE: GOD'S GRACE IS GIVING ME SOMETHING THAT I DON'T DESERVE...<br />
<br />
FOR AN EXAMPLE: LIFE. I DON'T DESERVE IT. I DON'T DESERVE TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND TAKE THE PRECIOUS BREATHS THAT I TAKE FOR GRANTED AND PRAISE THE LORD. BUT, EVERY MORNING THAT I OPENED MY EYES AND TAKE IN MY FIRST BREATH, IT IS GOD'S GRACE THAT ALLOWS ME TO DO THAT. MANY PEOPLE DON'T MAKE IT TO SEE THE NEXT DAY, AND I PRAISED GOD FOR IT:)!!....<br />
<br />
GOD'S MERCY: GOD'S MERCY IS REFRAINING SOMETHING THAT I DO DESERVE...<br />
<br />
FOR AN EXAMPLE: DEATH. BEFORE JESUS CHRIST CAME INTO MY LIFE, I WAS DESTINED FOR @ATION AND DEATH. I WAS DESTINED FOR HELL. I DESERVED IT. BUT, THROUGH THE RED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS SHED ON THE CROSS, MY LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED. NOW I AM NOT DESTINED FOR DEATH, BUT LIFE, THRU JESUS CHRIST. AND I PRAISE GOD FOR IT:)!!...<br />
<br />
So, you remember this every day that you got a chance to see and live thru and I hope you pass this knowledge along the way, to the next person.~Shantia B~<br />

"In the beginning, GOd created the heavens and the earth.." Genesis 1:1. This is God giving life to Adam, from the dust. Everytime I look at this picture, it reminds me of GOd's grace of breathing life into me, just like He is about to do in this picture. Isn't this picture beautiful or what?

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." <br />
