Grace is unconditional acceptance given to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver.

God's acceptance of us cannot be gained by our successes nor forfeited by our failures.

I didn't realize that I was in a self-made prison of human approval and human acceptance. Didn't even realize it. Most of the prisons we live in we are not conscious of.

Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make bad people good; it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.
