God Gives Free Gift ....

"God gives us a free gift... life forever in Christ Jessu our Lord" ~ Romans 6:23

One of the hardest things to do is to be saved by grace. There's something in us that reacts to God's free gifts. We have some weird compulsion to create laws, systems, and regulations that will make us "worthy" of our gift.Why do we do that?

The only reason I can figure is pride. To accept grace means to accept its necessity, and most folks don't like to do that. To accept grace also means that I realize his despair, and most people aren't too ken on doing that either.
