[:en]PERFECT IDEALS VERSUS ABSOLUTE GRACE
God’s perfect ideal for us is to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect (Mat. 5:48). He commands us to “Love the Lord your God wiht all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Mat. 22:37). But no one has completely fulfilled His ideals
In His absolute grace, Jesus forgave an adulteress, a thief on the cross, a disciple who denied knowing Him, and Saul, who persecuted the Christians. At the cross, He displayed His all-encompassing grace by saying: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”. (Luke 23:34)
Grace is given freely to all of us. You can enjoy the perfect peace if you accepted His grace of salvation. – (Philip Yancey)[:]
