Since coming to school at Cornerstone Bible Institute, I think one of the biggest things I've learned about has been God's grace. I've been learning about how it affects both my standing (position) and my walking (living). It sounds so simple, I know, but truly, growing in my understanding of this has changed my walk with the Lord and made Him seem that much bigger. There's so much I could say on this topic, but for the sake of time, and for the sake of not saying something that someone else has already said so well, I'll just leave you with the words to John Newtons song "AMAZING Grace", and encourage you to do a study in God's Word on this topic for yourself. You will be baffled and encouraged by such an incredible demonstration on the part of such a mighty God and your only response will be "To God be the glory. He deserves all my praise."
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
then when we've first begun.

Have you read the book, "The Embrace of Grace" ? It was written by a man who is in jail in Texas for something he did not do. It is an amazing book studying God's grace through trials, and was an incredible eye-opener for me. I'd encourage anyone to read it!
