Based on the teachings I've heard and how it is translated I don't believe the GB believe we deserve grace. Yet this is one of the things that Jesus' sacrifice was for.

The depth of the word Grace just keeps getting bigger and bigger the more I read the Bible. Just when I think I get it I learn another broader meaning. Undeserved kindness just doesn't express this. How can people's hearts grow without seeing how significant Grace is?
But as long as we water down God's word to make it simpler for the average man, we should also say...
"Make piles of things not asked for" instead of "Shower with gifts"
"Perform an action without reciprocated expectations" instead of "Do a favor"
"Show care and concern for people around you and cause them no harm" instead of "Love one another"
"Construct a place for a family to dwell in" instead of "Build a house"
Really, does putting the dictionary in-line with only one meaning add clarity?Yeah, I had fun writing that :)
