"We’re saved by grace through faith.” This phrase, which expresses so succinctly the means of our salvation, can become so familiar that we lose the meaning of what God has done in us. On the one hand, we can fall into legalism, trying to earn God’s favor by works. On the other, we can fall into sin, taking God’s grace for granted and rationalizing that “God will forgive me anyway.” We need to regain a biblical view—one that relies completely on God’s grace but does not trample on it by continued, willful sin."

"It all comes back to compassion. It seems to be an American trait to want to point the blame at someone else. But if we do that, an "I'm sorry" or an "I forgive you" is never even possible. As adults, one of the best things we can do for children is to admit we are wrong sometimes and ask for forgiveness. This shows far more compassion and grace than proving we were right in the first place ever could."
