As we look at our own lives, weigh our brownie points against our sin, we will definitely conclude that a fair judgment on God’s part at the end of our lives here on earth would be this—‘guilty’. For we have all sinned and fall short of God’s standards. If not for God’s mercy, where will we be? There is a fine line between grace and hyper-grace. We tend to emphasise God’s love and mercy towards sinners. The need for sinners to bear fruits that befit repentance—personal responsibility—is often not emphasised to the same degree. Like all good things, grace can be abused. Human nature is such that we want to emphasise what Gods grace can do for us and downplay what we need to do on our part. - See more at: christianitymalaysia/wp/grace-and-hyper-grace-in-a-nutshell/#sthash.pwvI2ZAK.dpuf
