The only caution I could give is that we should not take the grace of God for granted and abuse it by ignoring it and not repenting of our sin.<br /><br />Otherwise, we should rejoice in the goodness of God and realize mercy triumphs over judgement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815965770426713354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33057643.post-19530995672001592532012-10-16T11:46:55.369-05:002012-10-16T11:46:55.369-05:00This is difficult for me to read, Dane.

I wasn't going to comment but I thought that it was more important for you to know that God is using your writing then to worry about my pride. What you said makes me very uneasy and uncomfortable... Wouldn't every step forward in sanctification cause God to expect more from me? I just don't know, I don't know how he can keep loving us/me...I know to doubt God's love is a form of arrogance, so I guess I have to add that to the list of sins...ad infinitum...Luma Simmshttp://www.gospelgrace.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33057643.post-22939170624984368072012-10-16T11:17:56.728-05:002012-10-16T11:17:56.728-05:00Beautiful, simple summary of our forgiveness - pas...Beautiful, simple summary of our forgiveness - past, present, and future.
