Without the second work of grace that the apostles speak of in almost every epistle, we stay stagnant. Though we Apostolic's seem to be the only people on the face of the planet who believe in true transforming grace. True it is unmerited favor that reaches out to you, but it also gives you the ability to do what you could never do in yourself. God gives you the ability to hear His commandments, and walk in obedience to them. Not out of obligation, but simply because "if you love me you will keep my commandments."
Through that submission it changes you. It makes His desires, your desires; in that He truthfully does as is promised in
Psalms 37:4 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
While grace that is just the initial work is only half grown. It does have power to make you conscience of your need for God, and His overall power only to give you the favor to come close to Him you could never earn or deserve; but what that does to you seperates the men from the boys, and the fake from the authentic!
(This isn't to you Buckeye but something I felt to.add to that statement above.)
