Amazed or jaded by grace?
Does God’s sovereign grace really still amaze you? Or has it become so common for you that you no longer notice it?
It is true that I still sing “Infinite Grace” on Sundays, and claim to believe in the “Solas” of the Reformation. But as a Christian, do I really understand what happened to me when God's grace came to touch me? Or do I view it as a natural acquisition, something that is owed to me?
Can we not fear that, for many believers, the joy and vitality that burst forth when they received God's grace to conversion have given way to the lethargy and ordinariness of a faded spiritual life in the here ?
The author examines the wonder of divine grace from seven perspectives, each of which is rooted in deep and rich biblical truth. He also connects his reflections with a hymn written by a pastor from Burundi that captures the wonder of grace.
In this book, Sinclair Ferguson asks a profound question: "If God's grace no longer amazes me, can I really live in it?" » By its very nature, this grace astonishes those who taste it, and it amazes those who receive it. Whoever dives into the Word of God with the author will emerge with multiplied amazement at the depths of God's grace.
