GRACE UNDILUTED

Grace Undiluted: What It Really Means to Live in God’s Grace


Have you ever felt like you had to “earn” God’s love? Like you needed to check off a list of good deeds before you could truly be accepted? I’ve been there too. But the beauty of grace is this: we don’t have to work for it—it’s already freely given.

Welcome to Grace Undiluted—a space where we strip grace of all the extra baggage we’ve attached to it and experience it as God intended. No striving, no guilt—just the pure, life-changing love of Jesus.

What is God’s Grace?

Grace is one of those words we hear in church all the time, but do we really understand it? The Bible defines grace in Ephesians 2:8-9:

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

In other words, grace is God’s undeserved favor—His love, mercy, and forgiveness poured out on us, not because we are perfect, but because He is.

Think of it like this: Imagine someone gives you a priceless gift, no strings attached. Your first instinct might be to protest—"I can’t accept this! I haven’t done anything to deserve it!" But grace doesn’t work that way. God gives it freely, not based on who we are, but based on who He is.

How Grace Transforms Our Lives

When we truly grasp the depth of God’s grace, it changes everything.

  • Grace brings freedom – No more exhausting ourselves trying to “measure up.”
  • Grace brings peace – We can rest in the security of God’s love, even on our worst days.
  • Grace leads to gratitude – When we stop striving, we start living with joy.

The enemy wants us to believe we need to “earn” our way into God’s good graces. But Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross already paid the price. We don’t fight for grace; we live from it.

Living with Undiluted Grace

So how do we embrace grace in our daily lives?

  1. Receive it fully – Stop holding onto guilt and shame. God’s grace is bigger than your past.
  2. Extend it to others – Just as we’ve been forgiven, we’re called to forgive.
  3. Walk in it daily – Fill your heart with God’s truth through prayer, scripture, and worship.

Grace isn’t a one-time event—it’s a daily reality. And when we live in it, we are transformed.

God’s grace is undiluted, pure, and abundant. It’s not something we work for—it’s something we walk in. Today, I invite you to rest in that grace. To let go of the striving and simply receive what God has already given you.

How has grace shown up in your life? Share your story in the comments—I’d love to hear how God is moving in your heart.

Let’s pray together:
"Father, thank You for Your grace that knows no limits. Help me to stop striving and start resting in Your love. Teach me to receive Your grace fully and to extend it to others. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Don't be afraid to start Over.......

Do Not Be Afraid to Start Over Have you ever felt like you’ve lost everything—your plans fell apart, your dreams seemed unreachable, or your past mistakes left you feeling unworthy? Starting over can be terrifying. It feels like failure, like you’re back at square one. But what if I told you that starting over is not a setback but a setup for something greater? The Bible is filled with stories of people who had to start over, and in doing so, they stepped into God’s divine plan. Whether it's in your career, relationships, spiritual walk, or even your prayer life, God is always calling us forward into something new. 1. God Restores What Was Lost "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten..." — Joel 2:25 Whatever you’ve lost—time, opportunities, relationships, finances—God is a God of restoration. When He calls you to start over, He doesn’t leave you empty. He fills you with something new, something better. Trust that your past losses...

FORGIVE THAT YOU MAY ALSO BE FORGIVEN

At the heart of the gospel is a Savior who looked at our sins countless, undeserved, and painful and still chose to forgive. That’s grace: undeserved favor, unearned love, and mercy freely given.   Yet, as much as we love receiving grace, extending it to others through forgiveness is often a struggle. We want justice. We want apologies. We want to hold onto our pain because it feels like a safeguard against being hurt again. But grace calls us higher. Grace calls us to forgive.   What Forgiveness Looks Like Through Grace 1. Grace Forgives Freely:   Just as Jesus forgave us before we ever repented (Romans 5:8), we are called to extend forgiveness, even when it isn’t asked for or deserved.   2. Grace Sees Beyond the Offense:  Forgiveness doesn’t excuse sin, but it does see the person beyond the mistake, just as God sees us.   3. Grace Lets Go of the Right to Retaliate : It is human to want payback, but grace says, *"I rel...
