- We don’t all travel along the road of Christian discipleship at the same rate.
- Why do some people travel faster?
- They have received “God’s abundant provision of grace”. With eager longing they have opened themselves to it!
Grace = God’s undeserved mercy in redeeming humankind = God’s power offered to humans for their sanctification - The people who have sped past us on the road of Christian discipleship have received more of that power which God imparts unmerited and free.
- Why have these people received more grace than others?
- They knew that this grace was there to be had.
- They wanted it passionately.
- They received it; “grace for grace”.
- Our capacity to receive grace at any level depends on our use of it at a lower level.
