G.R.A.C.E.
...God's Righteousness at Christ's Expense

"Grace is a provision for men who are so fallen 
that they cannot lift the ax of justice; 
so corrupt that they cannot change their own natures; 
so adverse to God that they cannot turn to Him; 
so blind that they cannot see Him; 
so deaf that they cannot hear Him; 
and so dead that He Himself must open their graves." 
-G.S. BISHOP

Pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? Even the acronym itself.

And though I might be in error, (someone correct me) I might even venture that grace isn't just a provision, but the (only) provision.
