Grace - amazing grace

Surely there cannot be a more wonderful subject for the Christian than the Grace of God! Grace is not simply what God does, it is what God is, pictured beautifully in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Until reading this book I had failed to realise how many times the apostles make mention of grace in their letters in both the opening salutation and final remarks as well as the exhortation concerning various Christian priciples to be followed in the church. It was the constant theme of the apostles to encourage the saints and to point out it is by grace that the church exists and continues. The author addresses the doctrine of grace in all its facets; for by grace is the foundation of our hope of, preparation for and praise in eternity. In the 17 chapters, Edwards addresses how grace is apparent and evident in our every day existence; in our interactions in and with the world, with other believers in Christ and our relationship with God, our heavenly Father. Written in simple readable language, often bringing out the meaning behind the original words that better illuminates the subject, the book gives the reader a better understanding of this great doctrine in its wider application to our Christian testimony, lives and witness. I am better informed of this great doctrine as a result of reading the book and suggest if you want a study on the vastness of the grace of God, you would do well to get an understanding by reading this book.
