Most of us at some point have bargained with God and said something like - "God, If you will ... I promise I will ..." If you've ever done that - it shows you have more faith than you thought because in that moment - you believe that:
> God exists and God knows your name and God knows your circumstances and that God cares! That's a lot of faith! We also believe that we have something God wants! Maybe a little obedience or church attendance or maybe even some of our money in return for getting what we want from Him.
The good news is - we can't negotiate with God because God doesn't need anything! The very good news is - God doesn't want something from us - He wants something for us! The idea that summarizes this is the epicentre of a relationship with God - the epicentre of the Christian faith and that's ... Grace.
