Falling from Grace?

I posted this comment on Latter Day Saint Woman in response to this comment.

"One cannot lose their salvation, if it was a true surrender to Christ Jesus."

When LDS, I feared what all LDS do: sinning again means all those former sins come back to me (D&C 82:7). Not until I received God's grace did I understand that trusting Him meant He and His grace are sufficient to wash away my sins even if I occasionally fall back into them.

LDS believe one falls from grace by sinning (D&C 20:32).  Yet Paul makes it clear that you fall from grace by trying to make works the way to please God to obtain His salvation (Galatians 5:4Galatians 2:21; Romans 11:6).

Grace is not cheap; it is priceless.
