“Only when we see that the way of God's law is absolutely inflexible will we see that God's grace is absolutely indispensable. A high view of the law reminds us that God accepts us on the basis of Christ's perfection, not our progress. Grace, properly understood, is the movement of a holy God toward an unholy people. He doesn't cheapen the law or ease its requirements. He fulfills them in his Son, who then gives his righteousness to us. That's the gospel. Pure and simple.” PeopleWayGivingLawChristSimpleViewsAcceptingGraceProgressMovementSonHolyPureUnderstoodPerfectionBasesEaseRighteousnessRequirementsIndispensableGod's GraceHoly God Book:It Is Finished: 365 Days of Good News Source: It Is Finished: 365 Days of Good News

“The ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.” MenSelfChristDifferencesGraceSeeingGloryUltimateDelightSupremeTreasureRelateSufficientDependentGlory Of GodGod's GraceSelf SufficientResourceful Author:John Piper
“This is the amazing story of God’s grace. God saves us by His grace and transforms us more and more into the likeness of His Son by His grace. In all our trials and afflictions, He sustains and strengthens us by His grace. He calls us by grace to perform our own unique function within the Body of Christ. Then, again by grace, He gives to each of us the spiritual gifts necessary to fulfill our calling. As we serve Him, He makes that service acceptable to Himself by grace, and then rewards us a hundredfold by grace.” GivingStoriesBodySpiritualChristGraceSonCallingUniqueFunctionRewardsTrialsAcceptableAfflictionGod's GraceBody Of ChristSpiritual Gifts Author:Jerry Bridges
