There was and is something fundamental in God's character predisposing Him to be gracious and to do it with great warmth and desire. He has a willingness to show kindness to the supremely undeserving. He is disposed to be like this and to act like this. The benefits we receive from the Lord in our redemption are therefore measured out to us according to the riches of His grace, and are a cause for praise. Grace is the mainspring for the provision of the blood of Christ for sin.--Main Headings---1- What we have in Him-2- The riches of His grace
