Grace and the Eternal Christ

The grace of God is from eternity past to eternity future, forever. From Genesis to Revelation, God's grace is prominent. We have the Bible only by God's grace. The whole Bible is about God's gracious pursuit of sinful man. In His grace, He gave us the truth to draw us to Himself and help us avoid brokenness and devastation and tragedy in our lives. God's grace gave us this world. Look at what God has given us in His creation; the care, the detail is astonishing. Before there could have even been Creation, God had to graciously provide a remedy for creatures that decide to go their own way. Graciousness provides a way for reconciliation. Only a gracious God would create at all, knowing the difficulty to come. Naked power without grace equals a des;pot. Power constrained by grace is redemptive. Praise be to the Eternal Christ that His love and graciousness directs God's power and not the other way around.

A collaborative work of four accomplished authors, this text provides a biblically-based analysis of the Christian doctrine of grace and its application to our lives.
