In chapter 54, Thomas a Kempis makes 17 brief points about the distinction between nature and grace. He draws our attention to the opposition in how grace works and how nature works. In the end, grace is the principle of living for God and all our efforts to deny ourselves. Grace is what keeps our souls aimed at heaven. Grace inspires not to count the cost of following Christ. Grace makes us willing to give up all that keeps us from holiness of life. What is grace? A supernatural gift, a light, help that God gives to enable us to live as his adopted children. Grace introduces us into the intimacy of the divine life, the life of the Trinity.
