The Gift Of Grace

The Gift Of Grace

Those who find me find life, and the Lord will be pleased with them.

Proverbs 8:35

Grace is created by God and given to man. . . . On the basis of this point alone, Christianity is set apart from any other religion in the world. . . . Every other approach to God is a bartering system; if I do this, God will do that. I’m either saved by works (what I do), emotions (what I experience), or knowledge (what I know).

By contrast, Christianity has no whiff of negotiation at all. Man is not the negotiator; indeed, man has no grounds from which to negotiate.
