Simplified Meaning:
Grace helps people become better and more virtuous; it doesn't make excuses for bad behavior. Imagine a teacher who is kind and understanding, helping students improve their grades and learn from their mistakes, rather than just forgiving them for not doing their homework. This teacher’s kindness and support encourage students to work harder and do better. Similarly, grace inspires people to grow in goodness and live better lives, rather than allowing them to keep doing wrong things without changing. If someone uses grace properly, they become more moral and upright, rather than using it as a free pass to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
