Saving Grace

We hear the phrase 'saving grace' often. It is usually mentioned in the context of someone helping us out of a fix ("you are my saving grace") or of a redeeming feature in something or someone. Here is what the Collins dictionary has to say about it:

"A saving grace is a good quality or feature in a person or thing that prevents them from being completely bad or worthless.  ⇒ His sense of humour is his saving grace.

In the Bible, Paul leads us to another definition of 'saving grace.'

Romans 3:23-24
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

Through the gift of Jesus none of us is ever worthless. He becomes our saving grace and offers us the hope we all desperately need.

Arrow Prayer for today:
Thank you Jesus that you are my saving Grace. We would be lost without your mercy, love and forgiveness. Show me how I can be a 'saving grace' to others.

Living in Grace
