True Grace


John 1:14 (New International Version)


 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[a] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Is it possible to separate truth and grace?  Is it possible to believe one and not the other?  If there is no truth then what would be the basis for grace?  Without truth it cannot be true.  If truth is relative, so then must be grace.

If God is Love, and Grace were True, wouldn't everyone ultimately recieve God's Grace?

John 3:16 (New International Version)

16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

This verse tells me that God's grace is indeed offered to everyone, but the receiving is accomplished with belief. God so loved that He gave the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus came full of grace and truth. God is just and demands justice. It is my prayer that everyone will receive God's grace, but I have to leave that with God. It's His creation and plan.
