I am free from the scoreboard of guilt because Jesus has already settled everything on the cross.– Queenie C.

His grace changes how I live my life as a believer. Being justified, I am sure of my eternal destiny because of what Christ did for me on the cross. I am assured that Jesus is my hope for the future and that I should live to give glory to Him in my thoughts, actions, and words as I grow in grace. – Angel N

I would like to thank and appreciate all of you who took the Grace Challenge. Thank you for sharing your views. I learned so much from all the posts. Thank you for the nudging to do the challenge. May we all continue to grow in and live out God’s Amazing grace.
–Dawn P.

This study has been so enlightening! Before beginning this study, I saw grace as God's forgiveness of our sins through Jesus. But now, I also, see grace as a tool, the main catalyst molding my spiritual growth, a "spiritual weapon" against darkness and sin. Grace is God’s perfect will, transforming and changing me. – Lisa S.
