Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life!
Romans 5:18–19 (The Message)
Because of what Jesus did for us, you have the opportunity to get in on God’s grace.
What is grace? Grace is God’s power, ability, unearned favour and full provision for your life, and it’s freely yours if you’ve made Jesus your Lord and Saviour.
Because of this grace, this free gift, you have a relationship with God. You are one hundred percent right with Him, and you’re going to spend eternity in heaven with Him when you leave this earth. As incredible as this is, there’s more.
God’s grace also empowers you to have an incredible life here on earth.
God has freely given you power and ability to help with your relationships, career and life in general. In fact, He’s given you everything you need within you to live the awesome life He has promised you.
If you ever feel overwhelmed by all that you have to do, remember that God doesn’t expect you to do it all on your own strength. Jesus said that His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30) because He’s given us grace—God’s ability.
Even if what you are facing seems impossible, it’s not impossible for God, and He empowers you. You can rise out of anything because His ability is yours. And you don’t just get to have that power when you’re doing everything right. His ability is available to you every day, and you’re not required to earn it.
