Grace = O2

Christianity is often viewed as a big buffet table with a variety of doctrinal dishes people pick and choose from. And Grace is often seen as one of those dishes, when in fact, it is the oxygen, with which the new creation in Christ lives. Without Grace, there is no new birth and the life, in Him. We are saved by grace through faith alone, not because we are fluent in Christianese and are trying (good luck with that) to keep the Law.

Just like we won't set limits on our intake of oxygen, we cannot pick and choose grace at our convenience. The Law cannot save us, it only condemns us, leaving us guilty and hopeless.  

The more we renew our minds with the knowledge of His grace, the more saturated will we be in that truth. We may get some talking points from two books and three sermons on Grace, but Grace is not just a topic. It is not a commandment. It is our life source. Our entire life is depended on Grace. Even though some of us thinks that we are qualified to receive His righteousness, the truth is Grace is what qualifies us to receive it.

Grace is not a spiritual concept. It is not an 'it' among the bunch of 'its' that we love to debate. It is a Person, named Jesus Christ.
