Without a standard there is no grace and without grace there is no forgiveness. A standard requires grace and grace allows forgiveness.

This is the house that love built
A relationship is built on three components: a standard, grace, and forgiveness, all of which hinge on love. A relationship must have a standard to foster integrity, strengthen character, and promote trust. Grace is for balance. It creates mutual respect, acceptance, and it serves as an avenue that ushers in love. Forgiveness cultivates an environment of peace, freedom, intimacy, self-worth, and self-awareness and it opens up a realm where the love of God is continuously made manifest.
