Common Grace as Shade

Especially because of the common curse, common grace is necessary. Laboring
under the physical, spiritual, and emotional strains of a fallen world, without any
shade in the scorching sun of God’s wrath, man’s suffering would be, well,
hellish. But human experience is not hellish. In fact, considering what he
deserves, human culture is an amazing gift. But that doesn’t make it the Kingdom of God.
