[halieus]

His grace makes up what we lack and helps us be holy.

Exactly. Just as we cannot be forgiven through our own efforts, we cannot become holy through our own efforts. Only through the power of God and the workings of His Holy Spirit can we grow in holiness.

Right now we are becoming the person we will be for all eternity. Why would anyone choose to stay where he is right now and just wait for the afterlife? We can experience so much more of God right here, right now. We can experience the Kingdom of God before we die.

[Choose Ye This Day]

Amen.
