"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense - Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:1-2
Grace of God consists of 2 parts: 1. Keep us from sin, 2. Relieve us against sin. When we come to believe God, it would be pressing the first part, of being free from sin, while the it also proposes the second part to pardon our sin for our encouragement. However, many of us fall into a mindset that we only emphasis on the latter part of pardoning sin while forgetting the former part of keeping us from sin.
"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? " Romans 6:1-2

``ABOUT US.
a group of fellow strugglers,
grasping for His daily grace.
a group of fellow sojourners,
gazing towards the eternal home.
a group of fellowshippers,
learning how to love one another.
a group of fellow disciples,
seeking to show others the treasure that is Christ.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgression
-it's by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5
