Grace stands in direct opposition to any supposed worthiness on our part. To say it another way: Grace and works are mutually exclusive.

There is never a works-plus-grace relationship with Him.

Augustine said that we were all born into the world of "common grace" [i.e., available to all]. Before one is baptized, or even if one never is, such grace meets one in God's creation.

Our task is to appreciate that grace.

We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God. Our hearts resonate with the idea of enjoying God's grace.

If we are saved by sheer grace we can only become grateful, willing servants of God and of everyone around us.

His great act of condescension in becoming man and His willingness to be completely humiliated in the death on the cross is set before us here as the supreme example of what our attitude should be.

He who acts thus will be saved; but for him who lives not in this manner it is morally impossible to be saved.
