Grace Comes Before Obedience (Psalm 119:17)

from Passage, Paragraph, and Prayer · host Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church

In mainstream American Christianity, obedience to God is often presented as our free choice. But in this verse the psalmist makes clear that God must act before we can act in a godly way. He must give before we can give to him. His grace comes before our obedience.Music Credit: Johann Sebastian Bach, Trio from Brandenburg Concerto, No. 1, Movement 4
