This website is a living bible commentary document on the Gospel of Grace. Everything you | This website is a living bible commentary document on the Gospel of Grace. Everything you ever need to know about Grace you will find it here. It is not what we have done but what Christ has done ([[Romans 5:19]]). Grace is God's undeserved, unearned and unmerited favour towards mankind. To reconcile us to God through Christ. We are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. It is the goodness of God that leads us into repentance ([[Romans 2:4]]). | ||

==What is NOT the Gospel of Grace?== | |||
Paul warned us not to listen to those who preach something other than the gospel of grace. Since the grace of God comes to us by faith alone, there are two ways preachers can mess this up | |||
# They preach things that distract us from grace (eg: conditional forgiveness, law-keeping, progressive sanctification, judgmental prophecies, conspiracies, myths, etc.) | |||
# They preach things that diminish faith (eg: sin-management, worldly philosophy, politics, dead works, performance-based acceptance, etc.) | |||
==How can you tell the difference between a grace message and a graceless one?== | |||
A grace-based message will leave you praising God and thanking Jesus. In contrast, a graceless message will have you making promises you can’t keep and then condemn you for not keeping them. | |||
Someone who has not been fully apprehended by the grace of God will always be tempted towards dead works. So be wary of those who preach a mixed gospel. If you desire to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus, tune in to the hypergrace preachers. | |||
But the biggest mistake we can make with the gospel of grace is we think it is for other people. “Grace is for sinners, not good churchgoers like me.” | |||
Big mistake. We all need the grace of God every single day. It’s grace from start to finish. | |||
