But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV
What is the effect of God's grace on you? Paul was who he was, zealous, obvious type A personality before he was saved and after he was saved. But, the direction of his life was completed changed. He went from persecuting the church to building it up. From denying Christ to defending him.
You are who you are, by the grace of God. But, now you are redeemed. If you are a driven person, be driven for Christ. If you are a quite but thoughtful person, be quite but thoughtful for Christ. Be who you are, by the grace of God, but let God's grace effect you as you seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.
