Like Gideon, sometimes growing in grace requires us to ask difficult questions. We have to be willing to pay the price. As we grow in our knowledge of God we will find that "himself bare our infirmities".
Grace only comes when we are at the end of our own resources. Grace comes by receiving it. Faith is the vehicle that transports God's abundant grace to us!
Based on Psalm 8 and Romans 3. Who is man compared to God. He is more than a monkey. God created him a little lower than the angels. But all men are born in to sin. Man is redeemable, by God Himself.
