By Philip Yancey
In our relationships with most other people, we need to earn their love through our actions or words. Grace, on the other hand, is God's love, which cannot be earned but rather is given to us unconditionally. Philip Yancey gives many examples of people who, like God, have chosen to forgive rather than judge. This is a good message for me. Yancey especially comes down hard on the legalists and those who use religion to assert political agendas.
In a relevant and recent interview, Yancey comments on the evangelical community embracing a president whose personal behavior is so contrary to the words of Jesus. Yet he reminds us that we should pray for the president. That's grace.
