The Trace of God’s Grace

God showers his grace upon us. His unmerited favor is a given.  All we can do to hinder the flow of His grace is to refuse its offer. As we receive God’s grace, it leaves an unmistakable trail in our lives – a new life, a new identity, and a new purpose. Scripture from Ephesians 2:4-10.

Scripture from Ephesians 4:25-5:2.
