Scandalous Grace • By: "Dr. Brucilla A. Williams, DD~

Praise The Lord Everyone!  Good Morning!   Our morning topic begins. . . "Scandalous Grace"!   WHAAAA!   Scandalous Grace?  Are you saying, God's grace is 'scandalous'?   So  how can you associate,  or relate "scandalous,  with grace"?   First,  lets define "scandalous". . . it's defined as wickedness;  birthed through the Adamic-nature, 'Adam' who fell to rebellioness [Gen. 2:16-17.]   He furher proceeded to justify his reason for his 'scandalous misconduct',  by blaming God for giving him a help-meet [Gen.3:2-13].   God, in His omnipotent,  infinite grace,  have demonstrated, and today,  has His open arms of mercy and grace toward us and upon us.  But understand, these two words do not operate in the same way. The operation of  'mercy',  witholds a punishment we SO DESERVE!   While 'grace', gives us (bestow) God's blessings we absolutely, DON'T DESERVE!   In mercy,  God chose to cancel our sin (debt),  by sacrificing His perfect Son,  Jesus Christ,  in our place [Titus 3: 3-7].   Henceforth,  'scandalous grace'  is demonstrated in [Num. 14:11-20/Rom. 5: 8-10], where His mercy and grace extends,  expands towards the sin-driven works of "scandalism".   Also,  read [Judges 2: 11-23], where 'scandalous grace' is perpetually, in operative power, and action.  Grace is God,  and God is Grace,  giving to the greatest treasure to the least deserving.[Rom. 5:8/Numbers 14: 18-20] Amen~
