God's School of Grace

God's School of Grace

The Lord Jesus has a process of transformation for all His servants, too. He's transforming them from being a conformer to this environment to be a transformer on the mission field He plants them in. And He uses many things, from His Spirit and His word at work in us, the high temperatures of trials and the grinding test of daily life of dealing with both people and problems to intentionally transform how we smell and taste... so we can have a permanent effect on those who surround us, for His glory.

He also has a school… one I like to call, The School of Grace... and it's in this school we're at taught and transformed to effect the smell and taste of the places God immerses us in. The big question is have you been enrolled and have you been attending His class?

A few things to acknowledge:

The School of Grace... school is ALWAYS in session. According to the SYLLABUS of Grace there are NO Weekends, NO Sick Days, NO Holidays, NO Maternity Leave, NO Sabbaticals, NO Summer Breaks, NO Retirement or NO Graduations as long as you have breath in this life.

Here's the thing, you can dropout... or leave the classroom of grace and get out from under its instruction (Galatians 5:4-5), but grace is not going to let you stay there long. Why? God loves you to much to leave you to yourself... especially, when you've been given the role to display His glory, for which is impossible to do apart from the consistent and unwavering instruction of grace (Titus 2:11-14).

It's not that you'll need to reenroll, since you left class, you are permanently enrolled, Christ made sure of that. But you will need to repent, confess your trust and acknowledge how unwise it was
