Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon. Therefore the effort we make to obey God is not an effort done in our own strength, but in the strength which God supplies.
John Piper

too often we encourage when we have a stake in things, how often do we do things for all the right reasons, too rarely, thanks for your comments
