Something for Nothing

Steven Curtis Chapman said, "Because of God's grace, there is nothing we can do that will make Him love us more than He already does.  And there is nothing we can do or have done that will cause Him to love us any less".
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours is a pattern we are more familiar with, I'll do this for you if you do that for me.  So getting something for nothing seems like, "Yah right, you betcha.  How much will it cost me in the end".  

By God's grace, we can freely receive His something—for nothing
... G.R.A.C.E is really God's Riches At Christ's Expense."For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
