If I didn’t have God in my life I would be capable of some pretty bad things too. Thoughts?


https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/there_but_for_the_grace_of_God_go_I

Allegedly from a mid-sixteenth-century statement by John Bradford, “There but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford”, in reference to a group of prisoners being led to execution.

A paraphrase from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:8-10, which states, “Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am...”.


I often reflect on Revelation where mountains are falling and people still refuse to repent. That is my natural man.

There but for the grace of God go you and I..................

That Revelation reference is a stunning case in point. They know God was behind the devastation but refused to repent.
