Connecting God's Grace with Our Effort
It is a common struggle (in both theology and in practice) to try to balance the roles of God's grace and our effort in sanctification. Errors of license and/or legalism abound wherever people emphasize one at the expense of another!
Whenever I consider this tension between relying on grace and exerting effort, I find myself going to back to Titus 2.
