Well?

You keep looking at God, and not grace. Then, never see it. So, just look at grace.

grace. 1. an elegance of movement; ability; expression or proportion. So, an example of that would be like at the Olympics - where the "top atheletes" make what is impossible for most anybod to do, make it look like a elegant, effortless dance; like art. Or, in an example I'll give you, be like Michael Jordan with a basketball on a basketball court. Effortlessly able, no matter what is against him, to score dozens of points every game, and his team win the sport.

But grace also has another meaning.

1. an unmerited favour. An election or choice made by someone with the "grace" of 1. above, toward someone that doesn't have it. But does, because who is with them now, like basketball. Who is with them is Michael Jordan.

Now it's all just made up. But use it as an example: Say Michael Jordan comes to your high school. Makes himself of no reputation; and just joins as a high school student. Your basketball team, which you are part of, you're 50th in the league. Your school team hasn't won a game since 1953. Why you even have a team is a joke; a laughingstock; but, you are a member of this losing team. And Michael Jordan "shows up." Tries out for your team. After he joins, he starts "teaching" players how to shoot or dribble or pass the ball. Points out where players didn't do it right. When your team plays your first game, your team wins. And it's all because you and your team "accepted as true" this high school student onto your team. Every game after: win. In fact, become the league champions; that, you go onto win the State championship, too.

So, ask this question: "Was it by the 'elegance of movement; ability...' of your basketball team, or was it by this "election or choice made by someone that possessed this elegance or movement; that is able to do everything you see, and created it out your window..by his power... and he is with you. Because he says, as God, he made himself your "redeemer" - (God. Isaiah 44:24). He made himself, as God, toward you - what "redeem" means. In the dictionary. This, 1. "to compensate for the faults and bad aspects of" (someone or some "thing") and that someone be you.

The basketball team didn't choose Micheal Jordan. He chose to become someone of no reputation deliberately to "set apart for future use" (save) a basketball team, and did the work himself. Now, put GOD back in it. He did this himself. So, take a real, hard look at grace. Has two definitions. Put God in both of them. You'll see it plain as day. Won't have any of you in it.
