Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phillip Yancey says that "every writer has one main theme, a spoor that he or she keeps sniffing around, tracking, following it to its source." My spoor is "grace," states Linda Teeple, author of The Nature of Grace: Ponderings On God's Abundant Grace. "I write about Grace because I want everyone to 'get' grace. There's a life-changing difference between understanding grace at the head level and experiencing grace at the heart level. God continually reminds me of his grace through nature--the nature of the great outdoors, the nature of the human heart, and the nature of relationships." Linda is a marriage and family therapist by vocation and a naturalist by avocation. She resides in Anderson, Indiana with her husband and her canine companions, Panda and Leader Dog puppy, Faith. Linda writes a weekly newspaper column entitled, "The Nature of Grace," which can be viewed at http: //www.heraldbulletin.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN KEPT OUT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD BY YOUR GOOD WORKS." A startling thought, isn't it? Righteous acts and hard work may be the very things that lock the door to God's salvation, writes D. L. Moody. The faith versus works debate has gone on for two thousand years. Today the confusion continues. How many people, perhaps even you, believe that if they try hard enough, they may be able to escape judgment and receive God's gift of salvation? In God's Abundant Grace, D. L. Moody's words reach forward in time to strip away the layers we've added to God's salvation and lay bare the simple instruction: "To him that worketh not, but believeth to Him,... his faith is counted for righteousness."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!" A familiar refrain, right? Do those words resonate with you? Well, rightly understood, the word grace is one of the grandest words in the Christian vocabulary and is certainly one of the most glorious themes in the Bible. This book attempts to explain the reasons why. Against the backdrop of sinful humanity and the natural distortions of grace, the author presents the ingredients for a thoroughly biblical understanding of grace. Why is this so important? Because it is from that premise alone that we are enabled to fully grasp the absolute necessity of God's grace in our salvation, and the power of the grace that operates in the believer's soul. It is because grace alone is the divine purpose, pattern, and power in the Christian's life. And the inevitable result is a fruitful lifestyle that brings fullness to us, blessing to others, and glory to God. Yes, grace is amazing indeed!

Are you desiring a meaningful relationship with the Lord rather than a checklist of rules? This book is for you. "Being a Christian is not about being perfect. In fact, we can never live up to the letter of the law. It is only when we let go of our constant striving for perfection that we encounter true perfection." Derek Prince In this book, Spellman discuss how there are multitudes of Christians who think it's okay to habitually sin, because God's grace is accessible in the person of Christ Jesus. According to the Bible, the Lord has set boundaries to help us walk in the light. Romans 6:1,6 says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound. Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?" There are many profound books written on the subject of grace, Spellman is prayerful this book will reaffirm the richness and beauty of grace. God's grace is absolutely magnificent, no amount of pages, pamphlets, books, lectures, songs or messages can do justice or express the wealth and depth of His unmerited favor. With a focus on winning souls for the kingdom of God, Apostle Donald Spellman ministers healing and restoration-spiritually, physically, and emotionally-to the body of Christ. A pastor with military and civil service, together with his wife and co-founder of Living Word of Grace Ministries, they lead an apostolic ministry team and host a regular radio broadcast. www.lwogministries.org

Download or read book The Grace Filled Life written by Dr. Stephen R. Button and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient," Christians often forget that grace is the predominant characteristic of their Christian experience and therefore tend to overlook how grace permeates every aspect of their life. Were it not for grace, we would still be lost in our sin, unwilling to or incapable of enjoying the benefits of a relationship with Jesus. I chose the word panoply to describe God's grace because grace is so overwhelmingly abundant and impressively available to the believer. God's grace is more than sufficient. It is abundantly available to all that belong to Him. There is a reservoir of grace that will never empty. Christ was saying there is nothing else that will compare with it, nothing else that will replace it, and nothing else that will embody it. Grace is sufficient because there is nothing that can be added to it, supplement it, or enhance it. Well written, interesting and easy to read. It presents a practical understanding and comprehensive application of grace to Christian believers' daily lives, written, at times, out of the crucible of personal experience. It serves as a wonderful tribute to your Dad, Dr. Lloyd Button's life and ministry. It also represents an incredible amount of careful thought and work. I found it to be both clear and captivating! Dr. David Nicholas, President, Shasta Bible College, Redding, California

Download or read book Overwhelmed by Grace written by Brian Anderson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Christian has been saved by Gods grace, but many believers have never grasped the glory of that grace. Can Gods grace be resisted? Will it cause the believer to endure in faith? How is it related to divine election? Did Christ in His death have a particular group of people in mind? Brian Anderson in Overwhelmed By Grace meets a widespread need for the doctrines of grace to be clearly, simply, and Biblically explained for all believers. By the time you are done reading this book, you may also be overwhelmed by grace! Here is a well-reasoned, readable, Biblical explanation of the doctrines of grace. Many Christians find these truths difficult to wrestle with, and unfortunately there is a dearth of material that explains them well. Too many who attempt the task get bogged down in philosophical and historical arguments before they ever deal clearly with the Biblical data. Brian Anderson avoids that pitfall and focuses his energies instead on simply giving a clear and understandable presentation of what Scripture teaches. I am very grateful for his wonderful, straightforward, and above all Biblical treatment of these crucial doctrines. John F. MacArthur, Jr. Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California President, Masters College and Masters Seminary Brian Anderson has written a solid, readable, engaging and very clear book for those who want to understand the nature of Gods grace in the salvation of the lost. I warmly recommend it. Dr. John H. Armstrong Founder and President, Act 3 Brian Anderson served from 1990 to 2000 as the teaching pastor of a Bible church in Milpitas, California. Since that time he has been planting and overseeing house churches in Sonora, California.

Download or read book Abundance of Grace written by Joses Hizkiah and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace is from the Greek word "Charis" and it means the bestowal of divine gifts from God which may be natural or supernatural in nature. Grace is mentioned one hundred and seventy times in the bible. Grace enables us to achieve things that are ordinarily impossible to men; and by it, we are highly favored in everything we do and everywhere we go. Grace is the divine influence upon a man's heart that opens him to God and draws him out of sin to God's eternal blessings! God does things for His people just because He loves them and not because they did something to earn it. Grace makes us to reside in the kingdom of God, live in unlimited resources and total freedom. Without Jesus "we can do nothing" [John 15:5], for it was Him that paid the price for our redemption. "For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift." - John 1:16 AMP Grace is made available in super-abundant measure which is a greater quantity than is wanted; it is such an overflowing, never ending spiritual substance, always being poured upon us from the infinite and illimitable God. There is a river of the Holy Ghost now bringing superfluity of grace; this agrees with the word of the Lord quoted above, we have received grace upon grace, blessings heap upon heap; we have been endowed with superlative, copious and never ending volume of grace. It is the season of great mercy and favor of God!

Download or read book What s So Amazing About Grace Bible Study Participant s Guide Updated Edition written by Philip Yancey and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of Christianity depends on how we master the art of understanding and giving grace. At the end of the twentieth century, Philip Yancey wrote his classic bestseller What's So Amazing About Grace? as a testament to the power of God's grace and as a rallying cry to the Christian church to see the acting out of grace as its single most important contribution to the world. Now, in this 6-session, video-based participant's guide (DVD/video streaming sold separately), Yancey reexamines—with fresh material and new stories—the scandalous power of grace so that groups and individuals can reflect upon, share, and extend this amazing gift of Christ in new and transformative ways. In this study, you'll discover: The extent of God's love and what it means for us. Why the church seems to have lost the gift of grace-giving and why the world apart from the church can't offer it at all. What it would look like for us to truly understand, receive, and give the gift that God gives so generously to us. Yancey offers compelling and true portraits of grace's life-changing power. He searches for its presence in his own life and in the church. He asks how Christians today can contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear. And he challenges each of us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know, "what's so amazing about grace?"

Download or read book Unashamed Of Grace written by Emecheta Ofondu and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to give clarity to the fundamental grounds of the gospel, which is grace. Grace, if properly understood, opens up a rich understanding of the entire Bible, and empowers the believer to live a wholesome Christian life. In explaining this fundamental basis of the gospel, the book contrasts markedly between legalism and grace, drawing upon tons of scripture to make the distinction. When Paul said he was not ashamed of the gospel he actually meant he was not ashamed of grace. The legalistic worldview is that which believes that we must act right in order to be blessed by God. It is righteousness based on the works of the law. The grace view is that which believes that righteousness is given to the believer as a gift by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The power of grace is in the law of faith, and not the law of works. The exercise of your faith in grace has a law that activates the Christian life in you, giving you power over sin and other circumstances: Romans 3:27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.Faith in grace, the finished work of Christ, has a law that enables you enjoy your Christian life, granting you an abundant life of love, joy, Peace
