We should take heed of pride; it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.

It is good news, worthy of all acceptation; and yet not too good to be true.
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
