We live in a culture that rewards people according to achievement. We see it in report cards in schools. We get “merit increases” at our jobs. We believe that people who are good or talented or work hard “should” succeed. But, as Pastor Ron explains today, that may be the way it works in this world. But that’s not how it works with God’s grace. His grace to you is totally His gift. You couldn’t earn it, you don’t deserve it. Still, He gives you his overwhelming, never-ending love.
