Our God is holy. We can’t sin and get by with it. If you can, then God is no better than you are. And man is but a creature. God’s will will prevail. Our proper position is to bow before Him. And my only liberty today is in the will of God. He remembers we are dust. But I can say with Paul, “I obtained mercy.” My friend, if you defy Him, He’ll trample you under His feet, but He’ll love you. And He loves you! And the day is coming “when they will not offend in my holy mountain, saith the Lord.” He’s running everything, friends. Not man.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
