The grace of God, given in love, creates both BLESSINGS and CURSES.
This has always been the way of God. God works through COVENANTS in the world. A covenant is a solemn agreement or arrangement between two parties. And God’s great covenant is one of grace. Grace is an undeserved GIFT. The gift of WELCOME. After all, with every sin, God is the one most offended. So it is a gift for any of us to be welcomed by Him.
So this is a massive privilege, to be the recipient of this grace. And because it is a massive privilege, is a massive offense to reject that gift. Thus when God’s gift of grace comes, it creates WELCOME for those who believe and receive, and it ALSO brings CURSES for those who taste it and see it and experience it but then REJECT it.
