Pastor David teaches today how the scripture informs believers of their dependence on the grace of God, and believers have an individual mandate and responsibility. A Christian cannot expect that God will have wave a magic wand and suddenly all temptation or struggle will disappear. As one learns through ups and downs how to walk according to God’s truth and wisdom, God’s grace is always available. The grace of God is meant for a lifelong journey of growth for which God’s patience is sufficient.
