But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect.
No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me."
1 Corinthians 15:10
God's grace is God's Spirit's power on loan to the believer, to enable that believer to function as God wants that believer to be.
Without his grace enabling power, because of our flesh, no one could do His will.
Its our desire to do His will (after learning what it is) that opens the door for His power to be given.
But, not given when the desire to do His will is according to our own understanding of what God's will is.
That is why it's essential to find a teacher with spiritual integrity to teach us soundly the Word of God.
For God's ways are not our ways, and many assume to know God's way by assuming that God feels just like they do on a matter.
grace and peace .........
