In our society many of our relationships are based on performance. In business, schools, sports, and in many other areas, our standing is determined by how well we hold up our end of the bargain. In contrast, our relationship with God is a one way street. It is based on His grace offered to those who simply believe. Why is this the case? Why is it that our standing with God is unrelated to human effort? Why is it that our works won’t work? Galatians 3:6–14
