       See, by God’s grace he empowers us to do good works for the kingdom of God. In Romans, it says that we have “gifts that differ according to the grace given to us” (12:6, ESV). God empowers each of us to do different things. He gifts us each according to his grace toward us. And it is through these gifts that God gives us, that we show love for each other in the body of Christ. We show grace toward each other. We care about each other. We take care of each other. Speaking of love, the final point that I want to make is that our relationship with God, by grace, needs to be built on a foundation of love and not fear. Foundational to this is the fact that God has chosen to love us and to give us his grace; it is not that we chose God ourselves. 1 John 4:10 states, ““In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (ESV).
