An Emphasis on Grace

Jack Miller challenges the misconception that grace leads to being soft on sin:

I do not think that an emphasis on grace leads to a soft ministry on sin and the severe demands of the law. Actually, it seems to be that such grace teaching makes it possible for sinners like us to hear the hardest things said about our sin patterns, and that can lead into a healthy sorrow which then leads back to sanity, i.e. repentance.
