So, today I realized a little more about grace than I had before. If I get an A in World Literature, it will be by the grace of God. My work ethic in this class has been at its all time low, and for me to get an A...well, would be undeserving. Because I didn't earn that A. I really deserve a C, I earned a C. So, its the same way with salvation. I mean, I deserved death, and did NOTHING to earn God's grace at all. I couldn't if I tried. And not only that, God continually forgives and loves us every day...as if the free gift of salvation isn't enough. If God were in human, right now, I would constantly want to please Him and seek His approval because I wouldn't want Him to stop loving me. Or on the opposite side, I might take advantage of Him, you know, like those people who can't say no...which isn't like God AT ALL, but sometimes I view Him that way. So basically, my view of God is untrue most of the time. He's either this big God, who created everything or someone I can take advantage of. Who are you God?
