His Grace Is Sufficient After All We Can Do

People often accuse members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that we don’t believe in Grace, and that we are trying to earn our way into heaven. We do believe in Grace, and we are so grateful for it! We’re not trying earn our way into heaven. As Brother Brad Wilcox, a LDS author and inspirational speaker, said, “No, we are not earning heaven. We are learning heaven. We are preparing for it. We are practicing for it.” (“His Grace is Sufficient” by Brad Wilcox).

Another LDS author, Robert L. Millet, explained Grace to beautifully, “Grace represents God’s acceptance of me. Faith represents my acceptance of God’s acceptance of me. Peace is my acceptance of me.” (“Are We There Yet?” by Robert L. Millet). 

His Grace is sufficient after all we can do, and I do not know what I would do without it. Grace is a gift, and we show our gratitude for that gift by helping others come unto to Him; that they might partake of His gift of grace as well.
