There's one more thing I want to muse on in reference to my last post. Since grace is an inexhaustable topic, for continuity's sake it's helpful to focus on certain aspects of it at a time.
So following the train of discussion... When grace penetrates a person's heart and God sets him/her free through the truth, gratitude and praise springs forth as a result. Because of the great gift received, the person experiences a desire to become more like Christ, to honour God and to bless others. It doesn't have to do with duty; rather, love and gratefulness. Grace works in the receiver the heart of a giver. Short and sweet.
