Sin and grace

When I was younger, I used to be far more judgemental about other people's sin. It came from an arrogant mistakenness about my own levels of super-humanness, really. And because God shielded me with his strength, I suppose, only allowing me to endure what a baby Christian could endure.

But nowadays, having fallen so often and at the most ridiculous things, I instead think to myself "There for the grace of God I go."

There is a story to this - there are many stories to this - but this is not the time and place. This is just a reminder of Ephesians 2:8

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
.

And it is grace that will keep us. Do not reject His grace today. Amen.
