Scriptures “See to it that no one misses the grace of God.” (Hebrews 12:15) “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20) “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you, I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh (that’s God-willed, not self-willed).” (Ezekiel 36:26) “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.” (Titus 2:11) “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9) “The glorious riches of this mystery in a nutshell is this: Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

Consider What does “Christ in you” really mean When did this became a reality for you. Try to think of several examples in your own life of how God has removed your heart of stone and replaced it with His own.

Questions for Lent Is my life being shaped by God’s grace? Do I sense my heart changing from one of stone to one of flesh? To a heart that wants to do God’s will? Have you received God’s grace? What evidence do you see in your life of a changed heart?

Understanding Grace God’s grace is not limited by our understanding and treatment of it. Grace is available to everyone. A changed heart is evidence of God’s grace on the move.
