The Power of Grace is Infinite

Everything that is good in life is a gift. These gifts come solely from God. Good comes from God because God is goodness. God’s own life, God himself is his greatest gift. We call this gift; grace. God’s grace is God’s gift of himself to man. Grace is God’s union and intimacy with the faithful. Grace is the power of God himself.  The greater the grace, the closer we are to God, the closer the union. Man does not deserve any gift from God. God is the creator and owes no man any existence or thing but freely gives gifts out of his own goodness. Life is a gift that comes solely from God’s generosity. God continues to give grace but sin separates us from God’s life. To receive God’s greatest gift we must co-operate; we must choose and accept. It is freely given and freely received. God takes the initiative in sending his Grace to man, man must freely open his heart to receive grace. God does not force entry, man must open the door and receive God inwards. Grace heals our souls and lives and brings us closer to our true selves and perfection. God plants the seed of grace in our souls and grows is gradually. Grace comes solely from God into us; the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, not from inside us out to God.   Because grace comes from God, we are required in life to fully focus on God himself, and put our full faith and trust in him, not ourselves. The soul can block or slow down grace coming into us. We receive grace by our degree of faith, hope and love within us. The power of grace is infinite, since it comes from God who is infinite. The fruits of Grace depend on our disposition. We must co-operate with God to receive the power of grace. Grace of God gives us power to live a personal life of holiness in an unholy world and to be witness to Christ. The power of grace includes charismatic gifts. These are supernatural gifts, unique to each individual Christian.
