Subject: Is it by works or by grace? |
Bible Note: McGracer, It is never by works, always by grace. God owes us nothing. We cannot gain His favor...we already have it. Yes, I believe we already have everything we need for life and godliness. Prayer is not about "getting" God to focus on us, but rather our need to focus on Him. This is why, we pray unceasingly. He is not hard of hearing but as we call upon Him, we are reminded that He is truly in control of our lives. Just my thoughts. Grace child, Toni |
