Dietrich Bonhoeffer said more than 50 years ago that grace had become cheapened. I wonder what he would say today? I believe in the message of grace without it, I am nothing but I'm horrified how some Christians can claim to have received it and yet bear no resemblance in character to the person of Jesus who gave it. True grace changes us. It will make us gracious and more like the Grace-giver himself. If not, what we call grace is impotent, powerless, and false. Saint Paul called this a form of Christianity that denied God's true power in us -2 Timothy 3:5. Let's return total obedience to Jesus back to the pantheon of virtues we hold dear, then we can win souls without saying much.
