We talk so often about the “grace of God” that we sometimes forget its supernatural power. By his grace, God closes the door on all our attempts to please him to avoid his wrath or gain his favor. But it goes much further.
How does God’s grace change our motives and affections? How can we rely on it to flee sin and finally obey wholeheartedly as God expects of us?
This book is full of Scripture references that will help you understand why you need to rely on this infinite resource. The more you draw from it, the more the Gospel will produce in you a joy that will transform your life from the inside. Not only will you want to know God and His plans better, but you will also be free to obey Him without compromise.
