God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.

Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.

Don't get me wrong - what we do is important. But it is infinitely less important than what Jesus has done for us.

When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.

Grace loves without reference to what may or may not happen-which is precisely why such incredible things do happen!

Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.
