I went back into some of my writings from high school and found this quote on a scratch piece of paper from my creative writing class. It depicts the most amazing act of grace that anyone can imagine. Jesus' death was the ultimate example of grace. Even though we were still sinners Jesus died for us. We didn't need to change for Jesus (and God) to love us. If we can understand this, we can better understand grace and how to share grace with others.
Another part of understanding grace is that we it can be easy for people to take grace too far. Grace is not salvation. Grace is also not Christianity, but rather an aspect of Christianity. We still need to remember the truth that Jesus is the "truth the way and the life." Grace does not mean that we are on the way to the father. It does explain how a perfect man would be willing to look past all of the garbage in our lives to see the beauty in all people.

My strong interest in religion and philosophy especially the analysis of my own Christian belief system have led to the creation of this explorative blog. I do not support all ideas shared on websites linked to. Posts consist of thoughts, beliefs, rants, old journal entries. I have not been updating this blog regularly since 2012, I have become more "conservative" since and will be adding updates Please see my art website www.feliciafollum.com or my HindiForChristmas.blogspot.com blog
