“Christ our Lord, to whom we must flee and of whom we must ask all, is an infinite well, the chief source of all grace…Even if the whole world were to draw from this Fountain enough grace and truth to transform all people into angels, still it would not lose as much as one drop. This Fountain constantly overflows with sheer grace.” -Martin Luther

Our ability to appreciate grace is in direct correlation to the degree to which we acknowledge our need for it. The more I recognize the ugliness of my sin, the more I can appreciate the beauty of God’s grace…If we miss the reality and the depth of our sin, we miss out on the grace of God. As long as we think I’m not that bad, grace will never seem that good.
