"All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful."
It's true isn't it! Grace catches us off guard, we don't know how to handle it or what to do in response to it. Change is never easy. Change in routine, hair style, church home, job/career. The simple choice is to resist change like the plague and go about our merry way, but that is the antithesis to the Gospel. God's grace changes us and even though we want that ultimately, it's still difficult. Perhaps we have things to cushy in life and so the change in life that grace initially brings and continues to foster seems like God is asking too much...but Jesus thought we were worth it.
