I think one of the greatest misunderstood thing about Jesus is the idea of Grace. I think even with me and other Christians.
Grace: (in Christian belief) the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.
I think it is most misunderstood because I think for God it is an all or nothing. Anyone who accepts God's grace through Jesus will receive it. I think as Christians we gloss over that statement and don't take it in. I believe this is a major part in the revolution of Jesus. No matter how small or large God will extend grace to those who accept it. This is hard to accept for ourselves and it is hard for us to apply this to others.
We are stuck in a payment monetary system. Small items require only small payment and big items require big payment. Another way to look at it is progress punishment. Small rule breaking requires small punishment. Large rule breaking requires large punishment. Grace doesn't work like that. Any rule breaking requires payment but you can not pay you have to accept Jesus's payment as a free gift. Others can accept is as a free gift just as well as us. Because of this we are all the same. God sees there is no other way. You can not have a small punishment for a small rule breaking. God knows that will not work.
God help us to live for you
God help us to accept your free gift of Grace
God help us to listen to you
God help us to trust you
