Many people believe that we have to “work our way to God”. Even many churches and religions teach this. As a result, many people are confused and frustrated when it comes to God. However, this is not what the Bible says. The Bible says that it is only by receiving God’s grace that we can know Him, and when we begin to realize what God’s amazing grace is all about, it brings great joy to our lives!
