Receive God’s Grace
“Grace is the power of God to live the way He’s called you to live. God, however, won’t give us the grace to the disobedient.

O LORD our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone we bring to remembrance. -Isaiah 26:13 One of the amazing benefits of knowing the Lord is freedom.
