God's grace, subway surfers: what's the connection?

I was in church yesterday for Bible study and it was so awesome I had to share. We studied God's grace which in Greek is Charis.

Let me digress.
I am a big fan of the game subway surfers and I have a score of about 255k to show for the countless hours I have put into the game. When I first launched the game a friend told me his highest score was about 80k, he further told me that he'd seen folks with scores in millions. My ultimate goal then became having a score of at least 300k. It seemed like a tall order. However with time I realised that there were boosts (like surfboards, score boosters, magnets and power ups) and aids to help me achieve my goal. The more I ran, the more boosts I gathered,  the easier the game became and the higher my scores climbed.

Now this post ain't entirely about subway surfers. Its also about God's grace. God's grace to us can be defined as the unmerited favor and support God bequeathed upon us.

Titus 2:11,12 I paraphrase: The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us to say no to say no to ungodliness and lust.

Now God's grace helps us overcome deadly habits, accomplish extraordinary feats and attain new levels in our faith- those things that appear very difficult or impossible. Consider grace like after-sale support (salvation is free though), which we get after being born again. Unlike regular after-sale support which expires, God's grace is unending. 

I also love to look at God's as a suite of plugins which God makes available to us to enable us upgrade to higher Christian living and a closer walk with him.

Perhaps you have a special height you wish you want to reach, or you want to stop telling lies or stop watching porn, God's grace is there for you just like the boosts and aids in subway surfers. All you have to do is to keep running or start running the Christian race. God's grace is sufficient for you.

Happy Easter!!
