>>>II Corinthians 5
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.<<<

John. My good friend . Can I interpret this verse to state the following. The more grace that is applied to an individual the more thanksgiving that redounds ( returns to God ). Gee thanks !! ( just kidding) However you have me to a tee !! Now you know why I praise God as much as I do. God has given me an extra measure of grace. no kidding !! I know it . An extra measure of freedom. An extra measure of His blessings. The trouble is that I take advantage of it then repent. And repeat step one and two, and so on. It's just my nature. But it has been a wonderful 32 years of salvation.......I wouldn't and haven't traded it for the world.. In Christ.gregor
