And can it be

Grace is key to understanding how to step into the kingdom of God and live there. We are brought to life by it.

And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body^[a] and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.^[b] But^[c] God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved. – Ephesians 2:1-5  ESV

While I was dead, I was made alive with Christ because of grace. I linked to the Wesleyan hymn above because of these words:

Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature’s night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray — I woke, the dungeon flamed with light.

That is in fact what my God does – He sends this out to you and me and it is available to anyone who asks for it. The key – God wants to be sought out and He wants to be asked for it. That is where I have to come and do my part. I attempt to do that each morning and every night.
