Another Look at Grace

[bishoph]

What do you think of the following quote?

"Grace, indicates the unmerited favor or help of God. One writer defined grace as “God giving us what (blessings) we don’t deserve.” The Apostle Peter said to grow “in” grace, and the Greek word used there could be translated for/because of; in other words we grow because of grace. Grace is the fertilizer that causes us to grow as we learn of Christ and provides protection WHILE we grow. Grace is not a license to sin; rather, it makes sin detestable to us. Grace replaces a list of rules to be studied and obeyed, with a lifestyle that is lived. (Heb. 8:10, 10:16) Holiness is the result of grace, while self-righteousness/condemnation is the outcome of legalism. When we understand grace, it lifts up Jesus Christ and draws others to HIM, self-righteousness and condemnation pushes people away."
