Then they hold much against someone in hardship, what would be the thought of such a person?
Many people use the excuse of grace to think they are special, it might be that much more is then expected.
Nobody is perfect so everyone needs grace, but much of that is, not the grace of God protecting some people and not others, but the free will choices of people that lead to unbalances.
So those that think they are in privileged because of God's grace, might be there because they side with other forces by free will choices for worse ideas. So the grace comes in, not to put someone somewhere, but for concepts of forgiveness for some of the things done while there and to get there.
God does intervene in my view, but that does not mean he wants everyone where they are, and controls everything people do.
However many situations are caused by peoples choices, so you could say.
By the Grace of God I am saved and comforted and have many things.
And by the choices of many people there are things that are wrongfully taken and many hardships given to people wrongly.
That is why so many things try to get a person to think they do not have free will, to excuse wrong actions they do.
And I am still due beer and travel money and many experiences.
