"By grace are ye saved" (Eph. 2:8) is a truism in Christianity. But God's "grace" is too often sentimentalized into unconditional acceptance, a bland tolerance for everyone and everything. Sadly, even in the church we may remain somewhat blinded to what Paul called "the glory of his grace" (Eph. 1:6). God's infinite greatness shines in His grace so brilliantly that a single beam of it can fill the soul with awe, wonder, and holy fear. Saving grace displays all the attributes of God. Saving grace creates worshipers. A true knowledge of grace does not make us complacent in spiritual mediocrity but energizes us to pursue holiness while longing for Christ's return. The authors of this book marvel together over various aspects of the God's saving grace, covering biblical terrain from the first promise of saving grace in Genesis to the glory of everlasting grace pictured in Revelation. Contributors include Michael P. V. Barrett, Joel R. Beeke, Gerald M. Bilkes, Jonathan Gibson, Hensworth W. C. Jonas, David B. McWilliams, Adriaan C. Neele, Paul M. Smalley, and Daniel C. Timmer.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
