Just as the title of this blog suggests, I am a alive by the grace of God. For I know for a fact that there is nothing, absolutely nothing that I have done to earn such a wonderful gift. What could I do? I know exactly how Paul was feeling when he said in Romans,
"For I have he desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being, I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God-through Christ Jesus our Lord!"

Thanks be to God for his wonderful grace!
