Subject: Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? |
Bible Note: Dear Imm, I am reluctant to call God's saving grace a "gift" as we (sinner) definitely need His grace due to our un-deserving and horrible condition, inability of self-help. Do you think it (Mat 18:21-27) grace or gift? Yes, when someone gives us a gift, we "stretch" our hands to take it and we are "pleased" by the giver. But does God need to please us? When we understand what we need is grace, our heart and mentality will be different. Just my 2 cents. Shalom Azure |
