Grace!!!

I read a story about a man who died and went to heaven. When he got to heavens gate, he was met by the apostle Peter. Peter then told him that for him to get into heaven, he would require 100 points. Then the man started out.
He said “I was faithful  to my wife in  marriage for 50 years.” Peter said “wow, that's nice. That will earn you 3 points.” He said again, “I had a restaurant from which I gave food to the poor every Christmas.” “Oh that's wonderful,” the apostle said, “that will earn you 1 point.” “Then the man said what just 1 point. That's impossible. All my major good works, and I get just 4 points. The only way I'm gonna get into this gate is by the grace of God.” Then Peter said “yeah, now u have 100 points. Come on in.”
The bible makes it very clear to us that we are saved by grace through faith and not by faith alone,or grace alone ,but by both of them. No one can qualify for the goodness of God by his good works but by faith in the saving grace of Lord Jesus. I need you to understand that God loves you because He is love and not because you are lovely. Alada.  So walk to day in the consciousness of that love. Why love? Well  that's simple. The apostle Paul prayed that the brethren will understand (Greek-ginosko-meaning revelation knowledge) the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge (Greek-gnosis-scientific knowledge) that they may be filled with all the fullness of God. What does it mean to be full of God. It means  ...... this will be discussed in another article. But then, meditate upon the love and grace of God for this will make you a master over the circumstances and situations of this life.Hallelujah
