Who Put Out More Effort?

A second reaction to all of this is, this is works, not Grace. and it's very cmmon when the topic of spiritual formation comes up, and you get into the discussion of actually doing something, then people are apt to say, "Well that's works and not Grace." And, unfortunately, it's a pretty harmful understanding of Grace.

 Grace is not opposed to effort. iIn fact, you won't see anyone put out effort like someone who's been touched by grace."
