"If you can begin to understand that there isn't anything anyone can do to help God in any way, then you have begun to get a glimpse of grace. Because it is only in our total helplessness, not only in salvation, but in living the Christian life, that God is able to "make all grace abound to you" (II Cor 9:8)."

our total helplessness...

How awesome! As I was reading that insert, I heard in my spirit, "When I said that if you lose your life for my sake, you shall find it, I meant lose it from your sense of self-salvation by being under the law." Truely our weak & beggarly attempts to keep the law as a means to be blessed and right with God blinds us from the reality of true humility in receiving everything dieing to self-salvation brings. As you stated, when we are 'totally helpless' we will empty any and all self-righteous attempts to save our life by trying to keep the law. Grace is heavens 'open arms' inviting all who are tired of self-salvation by the law and are ready to find their lives by losing it out from under the law through Christ, by Christ and in Christ! I love you!
