Steve Brown, in a recent issue of the Reformed Quarterly (Fall 2007) writes about Amazing Grace:

I have also observed that those who first learn about the amazing grace of God often do, for a period, sin more than before. They are like the college student who, finally out from under the parent’s strictures, tests his or her newfound freedom. These also will slip into the darkness.

But the most important thing about those who understand grace and slip back into the darkness is that they always come back. Those who were trying to be righteous by their own efforts sometimes never come back.

What is grace? Grace is what saves you, holds you, and finally gets you home before the dark. Its called Amazing Grace because when you finally understand and experience it, it takes your breath away.

May you have a breathtaking Christmas season this year praising God for His grace, and, even more, experiencing it every day.
