Defining Grace

Most Christians are intimately familiar with Ephesians 2:8-9 as the "e;entry door"e; to salvation. We preach it to the lost to show them they cannot work their way into Heaven. However, we must realize that according to Colossians 2:6, this verse is also the absolute key to a successful walk: "e;As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him."e; If you were saved by Grace through Faith, and that not of yourselves, you must walk by Grace through Faith. In the "e;Courtroom,"e; these terms are viewed as a transaction-God provides a product (Grace) and we provide the currency (Faith). But in the "e;Garden,"e; we discover that both grace and faith are part of a single, divine life-flow. To live the "e;Exchanged Life,"e; we must first dissect the anatomy of these two words. Are you exhausted by the "e;Grit"e; of religious performance?For centuries, the transformative power of the Gospel has been muffled by a "e;Courtroom"e; vocabulary that focuses on legal standing, moral effort, and the constant fear of failure. We have been taught to treat God as a Judge and our faith as a defense attorney, leaving us "e;numbed"e; like a lion in a cage possessing the nature of a king but living in the sluggishness of a servant. In Defining His Grace, you will embark on a journey back to the Garden. By uncovering the original Greek and Hebrew meanings lost in traditional translation, this book dismantles the "e;Strenuous Toil"e; of legalism and reveals the "e;Divine Influence"e; that was always meant to be your source. It is time to stop judging your life by the Tree of Knowledge and start living by the Tree of Life
