I was just wondering on the drive home tonight, "Why preceding the word "grace" with the word "unmerited" isn't seen as being redundant? Why is it needed there at all?"
I then began to wonder if this isn't something bigger than just language.
That perhaps grace has become so foreign to receive or extend anymore that we may have forgotten that the very nature of grace indicates that it is unmerited.
After all if it were merited, that wouldn't be grace at all, it would simply be getting what you had coming anyway...
what is de-served
Just thinking...
