From the Pastor's Pen: Romans 5:2

When we think of God's grace we think of the favor of God. There's nothing we can do to earn God's grace. Salvation is His gift, given in love to us. But does grace stop at the point when we receive Jesus as our Savior? No, His grace flows over our lives every moment, bringing hope and an enormous sense of peace and security.

God's grace is founded in love, love that is not seasonal or temporary. The very love Jesus displayed at Calvary. In the Apsotle of Romans, Paul's letter wants us to have a firm mental picture of God's grace working in our lives. To do this Paul uses the phrase, "this grace in which we stand". Romans 5:2

For every believer, living in God's grace is all consuming. We can't walk away from it. God thinks, responds and views us through the eyes of grace. We live in a sphere of grace, surrounded by His goodness. Through grace we walk in God's favor and through this gift of grace we have access to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
