A CALL TO BE RADICAL: LIVING IN GRACE
On Hearing this Jesus said, “It is not healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matthew.
Jesus came to the world to change it, meaning to build a new society and not only to make us survive and being on defense from the attack of uncleanness of this world. His Kingdom is an aggressive and offensive kingdom.
As believers we have a lot of powerful resources. We have strategies, weapons and we have the whole support from our Father’s kingdom
The most powerful weapon that we have is GRACE which enables us to do anything that He wants us to do. We need to learn to depend on the grace of God. This is a discipline of surrender to let His power become perfect in and through us. On the other hand we need to be aggressive in sharing this grace to others. For Jesus to visit Matthew, He had to hurt His reputation because Matthew was cheating people, but Jesus found and changed him. That is grace which worked through Jesus and touched Matthew.
We all need grace, no one in this universe who does not need grace. To follow Jesus we need grace to enable us other wise we are all doomed to fail. To receive grace we need faith. Because only faith that will accept something beyond our ability to receive. Because the word grace means a person who bend down to lift a person who have fallen to raise him at his level. This is exactly what Jesus had done to us. He attacked our vanities with His grace, loved and built us to be significant so through our lives many other would have a chance to experience changed by His grace. SO we all are agents of change!!! What a powerful thought that is.
To live in Grace is to live in a builder mentality. This is a real mark of a disciple. Our Master would not spend his time critique and put us down but He will use all available power and might to build us up. That is grace that works within us. We are called to build people, society, nations.
Welcome to the nations builder movement.
