Sublime

Dallas Willard said, “Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action.”

But in both cases ?grace? means we are to be, and are enabled to be, active to a degree we have never been before. Paul?s picture of grace is ?And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed? (2 Corinthians 9:8).

AS A FORM OF GRACE

This allows grace to loosen this ego-knot and opens the way to a more expansive, receptive, far less cluttered awareness.
