The Grace that is in Christ Jesus (English) - eBook

When people think about grace, they usually think of forgiveness, and since we all have sinned, we all need grace. For this reason, all who are burdened by sin like to hear about grace. If, however, we only think of grace in terms of forgiveness and hear that our sins are covered by grace, we will not be afraid of committing sin. This is the case with so many Christians. They have become as Jude writes: “Ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into shamelessness.” Grace not only means forgiveness; it also means help. Grace is not only given to forgive us our sins but also to train us not to sin. If we understand grace in this way, we will be rid of the false concept which says, “sinning is not really so serious, because grace is always available,” and receive the true comfort which says, “No matter how bound in sin I am now, I can receive sufficient grace to be completely delivered and have victory."
