When you reflect on what is grace, simultaneously raises the question: "How is it different from the concepts of love and mercy?" The old Russian literary work "Sermon on Law and Grace" can be found a lot of interesting conclusions on this subject.According to church doctrine, it is the gift of God to man vysheestestvennym.
Holy Fathers say grace "God's glory", "rays of the Divine," "uncreated light".Her actions have all three components of the Holy Trinity.The writing of St. Gregory Palamas says that a "total power and divine power and action Triipostanogo God."
First of all one has to understand for themselves that the grace - this is not the same thing, that the love of God and his mercy (kindness).These three very different manifestations of God's character.Higher grace - is when a person gets what he does not deserve and not worthy.
Love.Grace.God's grace
main feature of God is love.It manifests itself in the care of his people, their protection, forgiveness (Chapter 13 of the first Corinthians).By the grace of the Supreme avoided even deserved punishment, as evidenced by Adam pardon for his sins.His God not only killed, but also gave him a chance of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.As for grace, it often can be found in the writings of such a definition: Grace - is unmerited favor.But we can say that it is one-sided formulation.Some people who have received revelation from above, claim that God's grace - it is the power of the Heavenly Father, expressed as a gift that a person can easily endure the fact that he alone is difficult to overcome, no matter how he tried.
Divine energy is available to those who truly believes
daily to God must be approached in earnest prayer with meaning, that without him nothing in life is as it should be, and only with him all the best manifest.Humility before the supreme faith in him open access to his grace, requests are heard.Bible Church "Word of grace" teaches how to correctly handle the prayer to the Father in Heaven.
all who accept Jesus Christ, will be saved by faith.The source Ephesians (2: 8-9) says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves the gift of God: Not of works, lest anyone should boast."Also, it follows that salvation comes through that, then should honor, the people have to live by the grace.
In an open heart to God to knock does not have
of knowing that God is always near, and not only to maintain their hour of need, comes the joyful peace, because a person begins to feel that he has a very close and trusted friend.It manifests itself in every moment of daily life, in any, even the seemingly inconspicuous detail.Past the sight of the Most High does not pass any detail.That is why at all sincere faith and going with God's help, not only on their own.This truth is trying to convey to all the laity and biblical church.Grace, according to its clerics deserve everything.To access it, you just need to enjoy every moment of their lives and not rely only on its own strength.
What closes the way to God?
There are three ways how despised your faith and thus move away from God - the pride, self-pity and complaints.Pride manifests itself in the fact that man ascribes to himself those achievements which pays the mercy of the Heavenly Father.This sinner "steals" the glory of God.A proud considers himself independent, but really without Christ he can not.Visiting the biblical church, Grace in which there is a single stream, every layman will hear from a teacher that the sinfulness of such a plan destroys a person's soul.
Self-pity can be attributed to idolatry.Man, all the while reflecting on their miserable fate, in fact, worshiping only themselves.He thought, "How am I?" - Lead to profound error.It appears less true humanity.He loses his spiritual strength, as this contributes to pity.
complaints - this is the first way to forget thanks to the Heavenly Father.Complaining man belittles everything done for him, and will be doing the Supreme.Having carefully studied the law and grace, people understand that God needs to be grateful even for small gifts.He also shows that the right for a person, and what is wrong, what he needs more.
Who is worthy to grace?
usually before people learn to live, confessing Biblical scripture teaches that the church "Word of grace" in his life may be a mess.A woman can be grumpy, manipulate family members, try to keep everything under his watchful supervision.A man can be rude to households.But it is important to understand that to other people irritated, and bring joy to start with change itself first and foremost to open your heart to God, to trust him.Over time, in many areas of life will be a positive change.
God for each has its own purpose, and it leads to learning to enjoy every day.Often, people do not succeed because of the presence in their lives of constant fear and doubt.And you just need to trust the Supreme, he is always around to help, right, will give strength to accomplish what is necessary.
Earth work and grace
The Word of God says that a person may be given something for goodness as a gift from above.It may come to those who at first glance by earthly laws it absolutely does not deserve, who for the sake of this did nothing.It should be understood that the grace and the work can not coexist at the same time.Due to the fact that Christians, it is difficult to understand and accept this fact, they are, instead of enjoying the fact that they already have, and use it for understanding the full depth of relationship with God, all the time trying to get through the work that already have.
believed that grace - it is something for which God gave the best of heaven, and thus saved the worst thing on earth.And because it can count everyone, but it does not mean that you can have nothing to do, do not improve, do not honor the Almighty.He gives strength in the first place to those who believed in it with all your heart, then every day the person will take place in joy.The main thing - trust in his goodness and wisdom.
essence of divine energies
God's grace - a gift.It is neither bought nor sold, it is sent down by God's mercy, his uncreated energy, which can be varied.There worshipful energy makes man by the grace of God, she had sanctifies, he deifies.There educate, cleansing, sanctifying power.With their help, God sustains human existence.
divine energy - the human soul healer
Jesus said: "... As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me" (John 15: 4).And it means that Heavenly Father does not require a person to manage their own, God's grace will descend to anyone who will believe in him completely.
Divine energy is the bridge between man and God.If not, then the first and second unbridgeable abyss.That is why Christians worship the holy icons, relics, as they are the bearers of God's grace and help to join the energy of the Heavenly Father.
the greatest mystery of grace is humility.When a person repents and humbled, he only looks at himself and no one judges.In this case, the Supreme takes and clears his mind.You can acquire grace through neprekoslovnoe observance of God's commandments, but the fastest fertile energy descend to the humble by their repentance.
