Gods grace is all I need to be righteous in His eyes. However, He did not show me grace for me to accept it selfishly. He gave it so that I could have His example and show it to others. Verses 15 and 16 says, Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. I often feel like Paul when he says he is the worst of sinners; not because of the magnitude of my sin, but because I know I am and always will be a sinner. God’s grace could never be applied to my life just once. I need it every day of my life, which He gives to me freely. In turn, I must show His mercy and grace to others as He has done it to me.
