Amazing Grace in the Mirror

Erik preached on the short parable of the mirror in James (1:22-27). Here is part of his conclusion:

Doing, not just hearing, is the path to self-knowledge. But pay close attention, and you can learn even more about God. Can you see it, God’s grace? When you try and follow Jesus, you learn that you’re a sinner in need of God’s grace. Look a little more carefully, and you will see that you’re a sinner that is already receiving God’s grace. By God’s grace—forgiving us, helping us—sinners can see themselves following Jesus. Remember what we sang: T’was grace that taught my heart to fear; and grace my fears relieved. T’was grace that taught you that you were a sinner. T’was grace that taught you that you could be a saint.
