Devotional: God's Grace in Vain?

In 2 Corinthians 6, Paul strongly challenges us "not to receive God’s grace in vain and to make sure that we don't cause offenses so that the ministry will not be discredited, and to make every effort to confirm by our lives that we are indeed servants of God."

To receive God's grace in vain is to live a wasted life, to waste God-appointed opportunities for testimony and for service. Tonight I pray that as a recipient of God's grace I will indeed understand and treasure this undeserved favor and to strive for a life that means something, that does something to further the cause of Christ.
