The disciple living by grace rather than law has undergone a decisive conversion - a turning from mistrust to trust. The foremost characteristic of living by grace is trust in the redeeming work of Jesus Christ.
To believe deeply, as Jesus did, that God is present and at work in human life is to understand that I am a beloved child of this Father and hence, free to trust. That makes a profound difference in the way I relate to myself and others; it makes an enormous difference in the way I live. To trust Abba, both in prayer and life, is to stand in childlike openness before a mystery of gracious love and acceptance.
