Saturated in Grace

Often we wonder if God can still love me, want me or forgive me. We believe that at some point we have gone beyond his grace. That feeling is really a lie. A lie generated by our own feelings and thoughts, or by our enemy Satan.

The truth is that God’s Grace can never be revoked, once given by God it covers us forever. The trouble is that we don’t let that grace saturate our lives and really have the desired effect. Think about a steak. Some people simply like their steak cooked up and served, Others love to marinate their meat. Those that marinate their steaks often let it stay drenched in their special recipe for hours or maybe even a day or two.
The idea is that the longer the meat is marinated, the deeper the marinade penetrates flavoring and tenderizing the meat. Once marinated, covered in the special recipe, the two can never be separated. The only question is how long and saturated will the meat become?

So it is with God’s grace. This process of being saturated and marinated by God never ends, it is a life-long process. Once covered in the “blood of the lamb” (Jesus Christ), you can never be uncovered. The only question is, how saturated or flavored by God’s special recipe of peace, patience, love, joy, kindness, forgiveness, do you want to be?
How “flavored by God is your life?
