But how did we get that life? That's the point of this thread. We didn't earn it, we didn't deserve it, we didn't work really, really hard to get it... It was a free gift!

I always said we didn't deserve it, but deep down inside I felt I was earning it. It was an "I'll pay you back" to God. I would have never articulated that, but that's how it was growing up. When it hit me that I didn't deserve, couldn't earn it, and He loved me still, I still remember how overwhelmed I was. It was even more powerful than the day I was baptized in the Spirit. My heart was anew. My relationship took on a new fervor. I was freed from chains I put on myself that He never intended.
