God does not owe grace to anyone. Grace that is owed is not grace. Justice imposes obligation, but grace in its essence is voluntary and free.

You can dare to believe that God's grace, and his grace alone, is all you need to become a new person. You don't need rules; you need grace.

Living under the Law is the tendency to desire a list of preset boundaries, and not a relationship. While both the Law and Grace have commandments, Grace comes with an inbuilt tendency to obey what was commanded. Under Grace I don't get a road map... I get a tourguide - The Holy Spirit. He directs, reveals and empowers me to be and do what the Word says.

Timothy Keller
God's grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Saviour. Christians, then, should expect to find non believers who are much nicer, kinder, wiser and better than they are. Why? Christian believers are not accepted by God because of their moral performance, wisdom or virtue, but because of Christ's work on their behalf.

God could have saved us OUT of the riches of His grace. But He didn't. He did something better. Our salvation was "ACCORDING TO the riches of His grace." In the 1930's, millionaire John D. Rockefeller used to dress up in a suit and a top hat and have his picture taken giving some poor boy a dime. A dime was a lot of money in those days. It would be the equivalent of $10 today. But even so, the most that could be said of Rockefeller is that he was giving OUT of the abundance of his riches. However, if he had gone to one of those boys and had purchased for him a mansion in the country and given him a chauffeur-driven limousine, then it could be said that he was giving ACCORDING TO his riches
