To get a degree or certification, there is a process you must follow. If you don’t follow each step correctly, you won’t pass, or become certified. The way the world works, you always have to do something before you receive compensation. Sure you could be paid upfront for a job, but you still have very specific criteria to follow. Today, Pastor Dan will point out, that God gives His grace without any prerequisites, it is given freely. It is implied that because you’ve received grace you will follow His commandments.
