Grace is Power, Not Just Pardon

Just as it is easy for us to identify blessing as purely "good things"; it is easy to think that a person has been given much grace when they do not struggle or suffer. On the contrary, a believer who obeys God amidst struggles is given the power of grace and the blessing of being conformed to Christ's image.

"Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is power, not just pardon."
John Piper
