 SUMMARY: GOD GOES BY GRACE & GRACE  .

Ephesians 2:8–9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—
how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Philippians 1:6 He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

 “Oh, what a very pleasing weight that strengthens those who carry it!
For the weight of earthly masters gradually destroys the strength of their servants,
but the weight of Christ rather helps the one who bears it,
because we do not bear grace; grace bears us.
It is not for us to help grace, but rather grace has been given to aid us.”
