 The grace approach begins with this. When you and I come to the table and we acknowledge, we bring nothing to the table. Lord, I have nothing to offer you. I can't bribe you. I can't sway you. I can't earn your favor. Lord, I am spiritually bankrupt, as we talked about in our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Lord, I am poor in spirit. I am spiritually bankrupt. I bring nothing to the table.
