–12, we unpack the two-sided coin of grace: justification, which makes us righteous before God through Christ alone — never through good behaviour or church attendance — and sanctification, which is just as much God's work as our salvation was. Like yeast in flour, grace causes what God has already placed in you to rise. You carry the family name from the day you're born; the family likeness is formed over a lifetime. And on that long journey, His grace is sufficient for the weakness you're afraid to admit, and abundant for the assignment that's bigger than you. Not by effort — by grace.
