Living in the Grace of God: Applying God's Grace to Everyday Living - Larry Kreider - Bog

The foundation of the Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ and His Word to us, the Holy Bible. This Biblical Foundation Series includes elementary principles every Christian needs to help lay a strong spiritual foundation in his or her life. In this fifth book we discover that it is grace that motivates God to offer us salvation even though we did not earn it. In fact, we cannot earn it; it is a gift. Our salvation comes as a gift of God's grace, and it can be accessed by our response of faith. God's grace is present in our lives to save us-"the free unmerited favor of God on the undeserving and ill-deserving." Then we will look at the other side of God's grace which is defined as "the power and desire to do God's will." The grace of God is literally "divine energy" that the Holy Spirit releases in our lives. God has given us supernatural provision to live a victorious life. God gives us an abundance of grace! We do not deserve any of it, but the Lord pours it on us anyway! The foundation truths from the Word of God are presented with modern day parables that help you easily understand the basics of Christianity.Use this book to lay a solid foundation in your life, or if you are already a mature Christian, these books are great tools to assist you in discipling others.
