Grace is free. It means undeserved love. If we get things we do not deserve (implying inequity---than there is something free about that)
No strings attached---free.
When people give us the "benefit of the doubt" we don't pay for that.
It's really your attitude. You could say that they fed me dinner. THat was free. Or you could say, they fed me dinner so I had to talk to them. NOthing free in that.

Yes I do believe it is true, from a worldly standpoint and not a biblical one. See, we are born into sin, thus we are conditional from the jump. Very few people practice humility and unconditional love in their lives. For the most part, people do things for others, expecting something in return at some point down the line (i.e. conditional behavior). Or...someone will give you something, and then when they get angry or upset with you, want to play Indian giver and take their things back or want to demand money for something that should have been a gift from the heart (i.e. conditional behavior). Unconditional love and humility require that you love people all of the time and people others' needs before yours and so many are not willing to do that because it does at times involve getting hurt by conditional people.
When people stop learning how to get over on people and be humble and practice humility and learn to love unconditionally, then and only then, will your question become unbelievable. But I doubt I will ever see it in my lifetime.
People have to remember, the devil was banished to earth and not hell when he was kicked out of Heaven, and for that reason alone, sinful and evil acts will always exist on this earth.

No not that exact statement.
Nothing worth Having in life is Free would be a better statement. and a statement that I agree with. For if everything is handed to you, you do not learn to appreciate what you have. Whether it is money or love or anything. A person always appreciated what they have had to work for.

I am sure that if you live in a country like America you cant probably say that every ones life isn't free. in other countries that couldn't be true.
