Living in Uncommon Grace!

Most Christians hear the word grace and think immediately of salvation. We think of the grace that found us when we were lost, the grace that forgave our sin, the grace that lifted us out of the pit and set our feet upon the Rock. We rejoice that “by grace are ye saved through faith.” And praise the Lord—that is gloriously true. But James wants us to know something else—something deeper. Grace is not just the doorway into the Christian life; grace is the daily oxygen of the Christian life. It is the strength of the weary, the cleansing of the sinful, the courage of the tempted, the comfort of the broken, and the victory of the humble. Grace is not God’s one-time gift; it is God’s ongoing flow. Our text tonight is a road map showing us how to live in that uncommon grace.
