Jesus knew what His mission was on this earth and invites us into that same work.  Our God is painting a beautiful picture of redemption and has handed us the paintbrush to paint with Him.

Grace leads us into authentic community with others who follow Jesus.  When struggling, our tendency to avoid vulnerability with others is often the very thing that keeps us from finding healing.

God calls us sons and daughters.  He calls us His spouse and friend.  Our God desires to intimately know us, and grace urges us to seek that out. The Christian life is much larger than just knowing more about God.  It is a journey to knowing Him.

(Jn 19:14-15, Jn 17:3, Matt 7:22, Rom 8:15, Matt 23:37, Rev 19:19, Jn 15:15, Phil 3:10, I Cor 13:12, Deut 31:6, Matt 28:20, Jn 14:26, Is 41:10, Ps 23:4, I Kings 19, Matt 7:7-8)

Grace, our great motive in the Christian life, will always lead us toward God’s truth.  Because God created us and knows us, He also knows what’s best for us.  A growing follower of Jesus begins to accept and practice the truth God reveals.

(Gen 1:27, Rom 7:18-25, 2 Cor 5:17, Isaiah 55:8-9, Psalm 119, Proverbs 14:12, 2 Tim 3:16, Heb 4:12, Prov 24:16)

GRACE, OUR GREAT MOTIVE {grace leads series} – Ben Miller

God is not trying to hide the path that leads us closer to Him.  In fact, He has left many great landmarks for us to follow, and we therefore must learn to recognize them.  The first landmark in the Christian life is grace, the beautiful love of Christ poured out on His children.

(2 Cor 5:14-15, Heb 12:1, I Jn 3:1, I Jn 4:10, I Jn 4:7, Jn 3:16, Eph 3:17-19, Matt 18:21–33, Jn 21:15-17)
