We are bent.
We, by default, lean into sin and away from God. We are like a car with misaligned tires. We can drive straight when our steering wheels are being held firmly, but the second Jesus lets go of the wheel, we are right back to swerving. We are prone to wander.
The grace of God is Him grabbing the wheel. Grace upon grace is Him driving us to His Word to be realigned. His Word does the alignment and His Son pays the bill. His Spirit takes the wheel and gets us back onto the road.
We cannot drive straight without Him at the wheel and we cannot keep our wheels aligned without His ongoing maintenance. The world is full of pot holes and curb checks, but God keeps us on the straight and narrow.
