So How does being undeserving of Grace establish your Identity?
Lets take the Royal Family, Prince William for example. Prince William didn't have to "do" anything to become a Prince did he? No...He was simply born into the right family. In order for Prince William to continue being a Prince does he have to attend Prince lessons? Again...no. He could do nothing for the rest of His life and he would still be a Prince.
Now, If Prince William was to become King Do you think He would be a suitable King without having gone through all those Prince Lessons? Or having a knowledge of his people or economics or ways to better his Country? If Prince William was to take over and didn't know one stitch about being King alot of people in his Kingdom may not respect him or think he had the necessary tools to get the job done the best way possible.
What about Prince William do you think he would feel confident in his abilities if he didn't have the knowledge to back it up? If he doesn't know who he is and isn't confident in the fact that he's a Prince he likely wouldn't get very far.
This is The same with Jesus and Gods Grace.
When you accepted Jesus into your heart you became part of a Royal family. You were made a Prince or a Princess. Thats it, This is a Done deal for the rest of your life. In order to continue being a Prince or Princess or Child of God whichever you prefer there is no course REQUIREMENTS. Nothing you HAVE TO DO. You will forever be in this family.
"Are you saying we don't have to read the bible? or Pray? or do anything?"
What Im saying is that in order to remain a child of God you don't have to do anything. However the bible is something God uses to speak to us, in my opinion Gods word becomes our Prince or Princess Lessons. It shows us how to live and rule wisely. It teaches us who we are, how to overcome obstacles, and how to help others.
Will God still love you if you don't come to class? Of course. Will you have the confidence needed to live your new life and enjoy being a Child of God, no probably not. You will still be a Prince or Princess, but again think back to Prince William, without the understanding of how to live in that life he might not make a good King. Just like we might not make good Christians without Gods word to teach us.
Grace is a HUGE part of your identity its the very foundation. Jesus loves you and always will
