 Mom wondered about that. How did you get a perfect score if you didn't finish the whole quiz? And the little boy said, well, my teacher gave us grace. She let us finish the test, even though we'd run out of time. Isn't this what God does for us? We deserve death because of our sins. Scripture is very clear about that. Romans 3.23. But it goes on to say, yet while we were still sinners, Christ died for us in Romans 5.8.
