Mark Galli: Whatever Happened to Grace?

It is understandable why we’re tempted to shift the message of grace to a form of works. The radical grace outlined in Romans and Galatians seems too good to be true. It’s hard to fathom that while we were sinners Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8), or that, before we had done anything, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself (2 Cor. 5:19). Before we had created the doctrine of salvation to believe in. Before we had enjoyed any religious experience. Before we had reformed our lives.

An interesting read from Mr. Galli. How do you perceive grace (or do you)?
