Grace and Grave.
And every day is a choice between these two words.
One gives life. One brings death.
To live in grace means that we have accepted the selfless sacrifice of a Savior. It is the unbelievable and undeserving pardon with no rationalization. Meaning we can not explain it - but we can insist upon its reality in our lives. We can live open-handed and dispense unconditional love as a result of the relentless pursuit by a God who said, “For you I am willing to go that far!”
To live in the grave means that we have accepted defeat and failure as options. It is the unnecessary way of demanding probability without reason. Sure death without cause. Meaning we are determined to live in a cycle of negativity and self-induced pain which leads to certain soul deterioration. We can live with selfish motives, jealous burdens, and deeply harbored hatred, and in a sense refuse grace and die an untimely death.
It really is a matter of life or death.
Grace or grave.
And we get to decide.
