“Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid!” Rom.6
Most of the time when we think about grace we focus on the fact that it is an undeserved kindness. Doing so keeps us humble. It also keeps us ever looking for more of it. It is not that we intend to keep doing wrong so God can be gracious again, instead we look for grace to keep us from doing wrong again. It is hard to pray, “Lead us not into temptation” while we are actively planning to give in to it. But the humility that comes from grace reminds us that we are the sort of people who would do just that. It is ultimately our fallen condition that must be healed. Conversations Within” ts 8/14/2015
