The Great Lie

A large portion of humanity buys into the great lie that we have the ability within ourselves to save ourselves, or at least to help God in the salvation process, whether to a small or large degree. The Bible is plain that salvation is completely by grace and not by human works (Eph 2:8-9). Grace is unmerited favor; it is undeserved goodness. Grace flows from the heart of a giver who loves…

Works of John Bunyan: THE DOCTRINE OF THE LAW AND GRACE UNFOLDED. 531

by Thomas Sadler, oil on canvas, 1684 Fourth. If the surety stands bound, the debtor is at liberty, and if the law does issue out any process to take any, it will be the surety. [Though the debtor and the surety are liable to pay the debt by the law of man, Christ our Surety only by the Covenant of Grace]. And, O! how wonderfully accurate was this accomplished in that, when Christ our Surety…

A Very Expensive Free Gift

Most of us like free stuff, to an extent. I’d likely accept if you wanted to give me a free T-shirt or pen unless there was something weird about them. However, if you offered me a free car or a free house out of the blue, I’d probably decline, suspicious of foul play, something too good to be true. Maybe this is why so many people–Christians included–are tempted to turn God’s grace for us into…

Isaiah 40: The Comfort of God's Grace

This passage was made famous by George Frideric Handel’s Messiah, “Comfort Ye My People,” the second piece heard in Part I. In this recitative, God gives comfort and promises salvation. #ComfortYeMyPeople #GodsComfort #GodsGrace

Context Isaiah remembered, in his historical interlude, the time King Hezekiah of Judah had been completely taken in by the flattering attention of the Babylonian envoys. Since Babylon was not a major power at that time, Hezekiah was not alert to the risks of giving them the cook’s tour of his palace, armory, and the temple’s outer courts. Instead, the young king enjoyed showing off to them, and…

The Free Gift of God is Eternal Life

The gospel is the good news that addresses the bad news of human sinfulness and separation from a holy God. Despite our helplessness and deserving of eternal punishment, God’s solution is the gospel of grace, which reveals Jesus Christ took our sins upon Himself, died, was buried, and resurrected on the third day (1 Cor 15:3-4). At the cross, God judged our sin as His righteousness required, and…
