Time to Believe in Grace by taking actions about your faith.
Actions speak louder than words.

It’s time to Believe in Grace. Believe does not mean understand God’s grace, even the enemy understands, Believe means you receive and accept his grace, therefore you take action that shows appreciation and gratitude.
