The "Get out of Jail Free" Card...
Ouch- my first reaction to last nights discussion with my small group family.
Guilty as charged, I've many times been a "grace abuser". But, the point of what we are learning is not to point fingers at each other, not to make you feel like the worst Christian in the world; but to encourage you to have a deeper and growing relationship with Christ. If we use the grace of God as a "get out of jail free" card, our relationship with God is so much smaller, we reduce Him to our magical guilt reliever. However, if we chose to allow the grace of God to impact our lives and to free us to a life of love for Him, He becomes so much more to us.
What are you learning about Grace and moral boundaries this month?
