Some are just weak through and through. Humility is realizing that, even with strong points, we come up short. Yet, without faith that kind of honesty just brings hopelessness. Without faith, no grace is forthcoming. Grace is not forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a wonderful thing all by itself.
Neither is grace a license to sin. Grace IS a blank check, for whatever it is you need to be Godly at this very moment. All the wonders and the wholeness of His being are in there. Jesus has signed the check, but through faith you can fill in the amount and present it for payment for what you need in Him. I ve been hearing a lot about grace lately.
