Does the abundance of the grace of God promote a sinful life? Many people suppose that because God is gracious, we can live as we please. But the Bible teaches that those who are saved no longer live in sin (Romans 6:1-2), but out of gratitude live to please Christ.

Have you ever heard or said, "When God closes a door, he opens a window"? This is typically said to comfort people who are disappointed or in pain. This article explains that there are problems with this saying, namely, that God may not always open a window, and that God's gifts for us are not necessarily in this temporal life.
