 Bridging the Gap of Sin  Cancelling the Debt

Me - sin God - holy The standard

 Do you see that God can reach you anywhere?  Are you holding yourself or others to a standard?  Because it is grace, I can’t lose it or ruin it or not live up to it.  If there was nothing left but God’s grace there would still be enough for boundless joy.
