For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9, NKJV)
There is something about humanity that makes it feel it has to deserve everything it gets. Part of it is pride; part of it is a lack of trust, and part of it is simply ignorance. Even though it is a deep wish of our hearts, we struggle with getting things on a platter of gold. Our brain wants to make the linkage. It wants to make connections. The challenge is
“GRACE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.”
It was never meant to. In fact, if it ever makes sense, it will stop being grace. It is not to be understood. It is not a feeling. It is to be believed and accepted.
