Our God is a God of grace and truth. But what does this mean for us in our busy and full lives? Listen to what it means for our God to be a God of AND.
If you’ve been around the Grace In Real Life podcast long enough, you’ve heard me share that our God is a God of AND:
-
He’s grace AND truth
-
Mercy AND holy justice
-
Love AND perfect judgment
-
Man of Sorrows AND Prince of Peace
-
Offensive AND attractive
What does this concept of God’s AND-ness mean for our everyday, walking-around lives? This is good and true, but what do we do with it?
The reality that we love and worship our God of AND coupled with the truth that we are people of AND impacts three areas:
- How we work out our salvation
- How we live
- How we embrace our humanity
In today’s episode, you’ll learn about the grace and truth of our God, that:
- The grace of salvation is to be received AND lived.
- Christ-followers are not individualistic islands to ourselves but interwoven parts that create a whole.
- Grace calls us higher; to see that life and that our own selves are more nuanced than we ever thought possible. To see that God’s ways are higher and bigger than we could ever imagine.
