The grace of God isn’t a pass on obedience; it is the power for obedience.

We delight to mirror our Messiah. We seek to make our own the life of the One who made us his own. 

Not only does God promise this escape from temptation, but he also promises escape from debilitating shame.

Take each step of faith with the drumbeat of these oft-repeated words: The will of God will not lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.   

Jesus not only paid for our sin, he provides his righteousness for us.

A heart tied to God’s heart resonates with his love; a heart that does not cannot claim to know God.

In God’s great wisdom and love, he chose our spouse, out of all the persons in the world, to be the one to help us become the person he intends.

An act so gentle, a little whisper of the assurance of God’s care, powerfully rekindled faith, hope, and the willingness to move forward into God’s future. 

God made a pagan king a member of heaven’s family by grace alone. We, too, become members of God’s family by faith in his grace alone.

Jesus could certainly speak with boldness, but his goal was to make the gospel plain. God’s truth without his gracious intent is not his will.
