GRACE

Grace... it's also a thought that changed the world
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17 NKJV
Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head...
​1 Corinthians 13:3-7 MSG
Grace... travels outside of karma
If you try to be justified by the Law you automatically cut yourself off from the power of Christ, you put yourself outside the range of his grace. Galatians 5:2-6 PHILLIPS
 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithーand this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of Godーnot by works... Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
Jesus: "God's kingdom is like a jewel merchant on the hunt for excellent pearls. Finding one that is flawless, he immediately sells everything and buys it." Matthew 13:45-46 MSG
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won’t regret it; never let her go—she’ll make your life glorious. She’ll garland your life with grace, she’ll festoon your days with beauty. Proverbs 4:3-9 MSG

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace. Ephesians 1:7 NIV
