“Grace-based homes aren’t trusting in the moral safety of their home or the spiritual environment they’ve created to empower their children to resist sin. They know that ultimately a home and an environment are no match against the forces of evil. When their children do sin, they don’t get surprised. They expect it. They assume that sin is an ongoing dilemma that their children must constantly contend with.…The freedom children enjoy in a grace based family is this: They are accepted as sinners who desire to become more like Christ rather than be seen as nice Christian kids trying to maintain a good moral code…..Grace understands that the only real solution for our children’s sin is Christ’s work on their behalf….The grace based home assumes children will struggle with their sin and helps them learn how to tap into God’s power to help them get stronger.” Tim Keller, Grace-Based Parenting
