As I grow in the faith, the grace of God, through His Son, sparkles more brightly, and dazzles my gaze more fully.
The reason for this is I come to know God's holiness, righteousness and justice more through prayer, the study of His Word and revelation of the Holy Spirit illuminating these things to my soul.
At the same time, my depravity, the inherent sin, living in my old nature still clinging to me in this life, also becomes clearer. My inability to please God remains the same, but sight into this inability becomes clearer, and therefore, the glory of God's grace shines brighter.
It is no wonder that after Paul has written "who shall deliver me from the body this of death" that He is able also to say: I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Praise our Father for His grace through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
