Faultless by His Grace

I love this song! It reminds me of a book I read called "Continuous Atonement" by Brad Wilcox. (I highly recommend it) He brings up a great discussion about a scripture that says, "...for we know that it is by grace that we are saved after all we can do." As we look at the meaning of almost each word in this statement we can gain a much great er understanding of GRACE. Today I will focus on the WE. So let me retype that with a little explanation...

...for we know that it is by grace that WE (you and I)  are saved after all WE (Christ and each of us) can do (together).

Robert L. Millet wrote: "In a word, we are incomplete, or partial, whereas Christ is whole, or complete. As I come unto Christ by covenant, we (Christ and I) are complete. I am unfinished; Christ is finished. Through relying alone upon the merits of 'the author and finisher of [my] faith' (Hebrews 12:2), I become finished, or fully formed. I am deeply imperfect; Christ is perfect. Together we are perfect. Those who come unto Christ become perfect in Him."

This understanding becomes a great source of comfort to me! I desire to show my love and gratitude to my beloved Savior by doing all I can to become closer to Him, and I can rest knowing that His grace is sufficent. He will stand by me as I place my trust in Him...and place my hand firmly in His...





Faultless
by Hilary Weeks

When the sun sets and another day is over
I think about the person I want to be
When I hold up a mirror to my life
Sometimes I don’t find who I was hoping to see

I made mistakes today and I’ll probably make mistakes tomorrow
I couldn't save myself no matter how I beg or borrow
I’m gonna need His Grace

On that day
On the Day of Grace through the Sinless One
My sins will be washed away and I’ll stand worthy
Only because He stands by me
With mercy and love without end
He will lift me so I’ll never fall again
And He’ll present me faultless,
Faultless before God

If my sins were like drops of water
And I tried to hold them with my hands closed tight
Some would slip through right past my fingers
I couldn't catch them all no matter how hard I tried
But there are hands that have my name forever written on them
The price was paid and not a single soul will be forgotten
As we receive His grace

Chorus

I made mistakes today and I’ll probably make mistakes tomorrow
I couldn't save myself No matter how I beg or borrow
I’m gonna need His Grace
