The Blessings of God’s Grace
1. It’s all about God, and it focuses on His goodness and not our own.
2. It allows us to get help when we need it, because when we need it the most, we deserve it the least.
3. It allows us to be honest about our weaknesses while living in victory.
4. It empowers us to minister grace to others and lead them to freedom from condemnation.
5. It makes us depend upon God and build a relationship with Him, which is the reason He creates certain
weaknesses in us and allows others.
