A child, who lives by grace does not think he or she stands, they stand in the power of christ, knowing that if christ was not there, they would fall.
as the prophet said, Lord i am a man with unclean lips, i stand before you u worthy.
until people realize their unworthiness, they will never understand grace, mercy or love, they will continue to think they stand on the law or their deeds or whatever they are standing on
it amazes me that those who think they stand, chasten another, who stands in christ alone.
