Romans 8:29, 30 tells us "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." Grace calls us, justifies us, and glorifies us.

The grace of God impacts the heart and mind. We often receive warning signs physically, emotionally, and spiritually; and we often ignore them. The grace of God teaches us to rely on those signs and to act on them. We have the mind of Christ and that gives us the opportunity to think clearly and in alignment with Him. That's one of the great miracles of grace.

Grace is not only the grace that saves; it's the grace that sustains. We wrap up this study with encouragement to fully embrace the New Covenant in your life. This New Covenant is marked by a new command, "Dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God." If you are loving others, that is confirmation that you belong to Him, for love comes from God. Truly, the Christian life begins with grace, is sustained by grace, and ends with grace. It is grace, glorious grace!
