I've been thinking about a definition of grace that a friend of mine was sharing the other night. He talked about how we so often limit grace to a gift of covering from God that fills the gap of where we fall short of being holy and Christlike. We tend to forget that grace is also a gift of power to help us overcome that gap and become who God made us to be. To ascribe to only the first part of this definition is to have a comfortable and somewhat static faith. It's believing that grace is a gift of power to help us become that gives us a dynamic and growing faith in Christ.
What do you think of when you consider grace?
