From beginning to end, the Christian life is all of grace. Grace isn’t merely a divine sentiment or a therapeutic concept to remove the severity of our sin. Grace is God’s initiative to reconcile a rebellious humanity to Himself, at great cost to Himself. We can’t earn it. We don’t deserve it. There’s nothing we can do to move ourselves beyond it. Yet, God offers it in Jesus. “Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.”
