Amazing Grace

For this museum project I decided to take a visit to the Perez Art Museum Miami. During my trip to the museum I really connected emotionally with what I viewed, furthermore comprehending my perspectives in comparison to the intent of each art piece. Symbolically the most beautiful piece was a painting of a man, who in my opinion represented modern power. The painting is titled, "Morthyn Brito III," by the artist is Kehinde Wiley, who was born in the United States of America. Wiley finished and…

The Cross Symbol of Grace Therefore, when we come to God through Christ, we come to a friendly Father and not to an angry God. Because now, He does not only see our sins but He see us stained with the blood of Jesus. The paradox of salvation is this: God is a God of love and therefore wants to forgive sinners. But he is also a God of holiness who must not and cannot overlook sin. How could God love sinners and yet not overlook their sin? No one would ever have dreamed of His…

relationship with God as was intended in the beginning before the Fall. As long as this theological truth is firmly embedded within the heart of a believer one is free to explore the periphery aspects of salvation, such as election, resistance of grace or the possibility of losing salvation. However, at the end of the day, those extra beliefs had better drive a person more deeply into the mission of God to set the world right, rather than to divide people in to certain groups (elect, chosen vs.…

is extravagantly and illogically loving and gracious. God showers us with love, forgiveness, acceptance and grace. God’s love for us is not dependent upon any sense of what is fair. And to that we can only respond: Thanks be to God! • Stop comparing yourself and your life to others and you will create room for grace to emerge. Make no judgments of yourself or others. That is the way of grace, the way of God. If we all let go of comparison and competition, our life would be God-filled, we would…

Once there was a girl named Grace, who came from a very poor Christian family. It was hard for her family to get the basic needs such as food, clean water to drink or bath, payment for rent, and clothes.

Grace gave up on believing that God will change their life because they have been while praying for life change and nothing have happened. She wanted to be like other people so much, her…

salvation and sanctification. We are blind to our own sins and self-righteousness and are a people in desperate need. We are in great need for others who are broken and know of the great grace of Christ to look into our lives and point us to Christ, point us to His cross, point us to His Word, point us to His grace and sufficiency. We are deceived by our own sin. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick;…

an example when the author describes the story of the prodigal son. The older brother having a sense of righteousness and, at times we don’t want to see this in ourselves, yet want to point it out in others. To transform completely through God’s grace we need to admit to our sin as Elizondo words it. As the quote states “The sinner in us is convinced that our sin is so great that not even God can forgive us, while the righteous in us does not even think that we need God’s forgiveness”…

eulogy. When honoring the victim, he describes him as “a good man… a man who… a man who… and a man who...” With the same motive as Usher, Obama repeats the word “grace” several times in his speech implying that hope, forgiveness and a better future for America is near. The emphasis of the word “grace” also foreshadows the ultimate “Amazing Grace” at the conclusion of his…
