THE SECRET INGREDIENT

What is this ingredient that determines whether relationships are positive or negative -- the ingredient that is critical to relationships' success, health and prosperity?  What is the element that leads individuals to lasting commitment?  Is there a special "something" that makes the difference?  If so, what is it?

It is grace.

Grace is the defining attraction in any significant, meaningful relationship.  Grace is the bonding agent that allows vibrant life to flow from one individual to another.  Grace is the New Testament word that defines our relationship with our Lord.  The apostle Paul said that we "stand" in this grace (Romans 5:2).  Our Lord's heart of grace opened the treasure vaults of heaven and invited us to receive all of heaven's blessings that flow from this bottomless source of love. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”  (Ephesians 1:3)
