The horizontal significance of grace we give to each other. The first dimension of grace is what we've been considering here. The second is the result of the first. THEN they can be accepted by God. There's quite a psychology at work here.
Many people touch to see if it really is wet, or cut across the grass because it is quicker.
A sign doesn't have the power to keep us from doing something. Neither does a list of do's and don'ts have the power to keep us from sinning. Grace, authentic grace, takes the pressure off the human effort to do it all ourselves. All who come are accepted by God. It's like Abraham.
