We All Want Grace, But We Cannot

Nothing Cuts The Nerve Of The Desire To Pursue Holiness As Much As A Sense Of Guilt. On The Contrary, Nothing So Motivates Us To Deal With Sin In Our Lives As Does The Understanding And Application Of The Two Truth That Our Sins Are Forgiven And The Dominion Of Sin Is Broken Because Of Our Union With Christ.

Some Days We May Be More Acutely Conscious Of Our Sinfulness And Hence More Aware Of Our Need Of His Grace, But There Is Never A Day When We Can Stand Before Him On Our Own Two Feet Of Performance, When We Are Worthy Enough To Deserve His Blessing.

God Will Never Allow Any Action Against You That Is Not In Accord With His Will For You. And His Will Is Always Directed To Our Good.

So Often We Try To Develop Christian Character And Conduct Without Taking The Time To Develop God-centered Devotion. We Try To Please God Without Taking The Time To Walk With Him And Develop A Relationship With Him. This Is Impossible To Do.

Every Day Of Our Christian Experience Should Be A Day Of Relating To God On The Basis Of His Grace Alone. We Are Not Only Saved By Grace, But We Also Live By Grace Every Day.
