John 1:16

John 1:16 For of His fullness we have all received and grace upon grace. The fullness of grace and truth were offered and given to us through Jesus Christ. Christ was full of these things and gave them in equal measure. To those who needed to hear the truth He gave it to them with grace mixed in. And for those who needed grace He did not leave out the truth. The phrase grace upon grace leads me to think that God not only have given us grace through Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins but more grace to become children of God and spend eternity in relationship with the almighty God. Grace could have just forgiven our sins and not sentenced us to an eternity in hell for what we have done wrong. But grace upon grace goes extravagantly beyond that.
