Rev. 22:21, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” Grace (a gift) is never deserved. Grace is never earned. Grace never demands or forces others to give grace. When others demand to receive grace, which is a gift, it is no longer grace. When grace becomes an obligation, it ceases to be grace and becomes slavery in which the freedom therein is lost. God gives grace, the gift of eternal life, through Jesus Christ, yet He never forces us to receive grace. Also, He in His grace (gift giving) never forces us to pass it on, for it would not be grace (a gift). So what is in your heart? Is it grace or is it the selfishness of demands? Have your freely received the grace, the gift of eternal life in Christ? If so, then “… the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Rom. 5:5b). The gift of eternal life cannot be demanded or earned, it can only be freely received by grace and then freely passed on, as it was given to you by grace. So I ask again what is in your heart?
