Who Am I, to Receive Such Grace?

If God treated us as we deserve, we would have nothing. Every blessing we enjoy is a gift of His extravagant mercy. Today, R.C. Sproul reminds us just how amazing the grace of God truly is.
If there is an error that we are all too prone to make, it is the error in which we think that we have to earn our place in the kingdom of God. It’s an error born of pride because one of the most difficult things for any creature to learn is that the only possible way that we can stand in the presence of God, be in His family, and enter into His house, is by His grace. Every Christian needs to say, “Who am I, God, that You should be so kind, that You should be so gracious?”
We all can contemplate a better existence than we presently enjoy. No matter what we have received from the hand of God’s providence, we want more, we want more, we want more. But the heart of the Christian is the one that stops and takes stock and said, “Who am I to receive the blessings that I have received from the hands of God? If God treated me on the basis of merit, I would have nothing. But every good and perfect gift that I enjoy in this world—from my friends, from my job, from my health, from my possessions—comes from the great grace of God.”
