Good Morning! Happy Blessed Thanksgiving!
Amazing Grace! Grace means undeserved acceptance and love received from another. Divine grace from God: it refers to the undeserved favor of God in providing salvation for those deserving condemnation. ( all of us, me!) the saving activity of God which is manifested in the gift of His Son to die in the place of sinners. In Greek it is charis: "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ"... It is the redeeming activity of God that manifests itself in the redemptive work of Christ by which sinners are forgiven and accepted by God! Wow thank you Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thank you Christ Jesus , I owe you my life. We owe you our life, with every breath! Love, hugs, prayers, and His grace! Love T!
Amazing Grace written by John Newton 1779:
A man who always seemed to get into trouble. He deserted the British Navy, was captured, flogged, and demoted. His life was out of control, living at sea as a slave trader, unmoved by such a despicable way of life. March 9, 1748, a night which changed his life, newton could no longer save himself. A blinding storm arose off the coast of Newfoundland, he and his crew, cried out to God for mercy. The gracious, loving God he remembered from his Mother's faith not only spared Newton's life, but also led him to a new way of living.
Years later, as an anti-slavery activist, most influential evangelists of his day, wrote:
"That tenth of March is a day much remember be me. I have never suffered it to pass unnoticed since the year 1748- the Lord came to me on high and delivered me out of deep waters."
"Amazing Grace," John Newton's very personal story of transformation, is the most famous of hundreds of hymns he penned throughout his life. It was the story of his life, and perhaps the most famous hymn of all time."
