What I’m going to copy and paste here is just heartbreaking to me. The Mormon Channel is doing an online series on grace, on their website we read:
“Grace is a “divine means of help or strength, given through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ.” It is after we exercise our faith and efforts to help ourselves that the Savior steps in to heal and help us. Grace is a gift that will change hearts, minds, and lives in times of deepest sorrow.”
So which is it? Is grace a gift, freely given by Jesus Christ, or is it earned through our “efforts”?
