Amazing Grace - Graça Maravilhosa

The first song on our CD "Rezounding Praize - A Aventura Portuguêsa" is "Amazing Grace" ou "Graça Maravilhosa" em Português.

What can I say about this song? It is probably one of the most recognized songs around the world. Even people who are not followers of Jesus Christ know the song.

What can I say about God's grace?

Entire books have been written about God's grace. So how can I put into a short blog post how wonderful God's grace is?

I think I'll just let the Bible explain God's grace without commentary from me. Here are some of the hundreds of verses in the Bible that tell us about God's grace.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

João 1:14 E o Verbo se fez carne, e habitou entre nós, cheio de graça e de verdade; e vimos a sua glória, como a glória do unigênito do Pai.

Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

Efésios 1:7 em quem temos a redenção pelo seu sangue, a redenção dos nossos delitos, segundo as riquezas da sua graça,

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God ;

Efésios 2:8 Porque pela graça sois salvos, por meio da fé; e isto não vem de vós, é dom de Deus;

Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebreus 4:16 Cheguemo-nos, pois, confiadamente ao trono da graça, para que recebamos misericórdia e achemos graça, a fim de sermos socorridos no momento oportuno.

Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna...
