The Christian life is a gift of God, an expression of
God's grace in Christ, the result of an undeserved and unmerited offering of
love toward us. Every step of the
journey toward Christ is preceded by, made possible by, and sustained by the
perfecting grace of God.
However, becoming the person that God desires us to
become is also the fruit of a persistent and deeply personal quest, an active
desire to love God, to allow God's love to lead us. The fruitful life is cultivated by placing
ourselves in the most advantageous places to see, receive, learn, and
understand the love that has been offered in Christ.
