It is by God’s grace that we receive mercy instead of the judgment we deserve for our sins. Sin has dire consequences and can eventually lead us down a path of destruction and into a pit. Jesus said that path is broad. Those who refuse to repent are traveling on the road to ruin. The antidote for sin is God’s grace. By grace we are saved through faith in Christ. It is God’s gift, not earned by our good works. All who receive Jesus Christ have an amazing future in God’s kingdom because they now live inside the Camp of Grace. In Christ, we are forgiven and sanctified, made holy. Take a moment to form a picture in your mind of the blessing of God’s grace surrounding you like a protective shelter. The Lord God Almighty pitches His tent in our house and dwells with us. He is like a mighty wall that separates us from our enemies. They cannot break in or climb over the wall to steal from us. No harm will come to us by day or night when we live inside God’s Camp of Grace. Jesus lives in the heart of every believer and keeps us safe under His tender care. He is a secure sanctuary for those who are broken, a place of healing and restoration. All is well inside the camp. It is our home, a precious place of renewed hope and joy. If we disobey God and follow our own sinful desires, we become vulnerable to attacks. But if we honor the Lord and obey Him, we will overcome every obstacle and difficult challenge that comes. His favor surrounds us. If you have lost hope or wandered away from God, understand that by grace the Spirit of the Lord is calling you to turn back. Confess your sins and receive God’s love. In the Camp of Grace every blessing is ours to enjoy. “Now let our Lord Jesus Christ and God, our Father, who by grace loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and deed.” 2Thesselonians 2:17 God loves you. He gave us the gift of new life in Christ and invites us to experience His love and receive eternal life. Inside the Camp of Grace all is well. Therefore, let you heart rejoice in God’s faithfulness and give Him glory, honor, and praise.
