The Gospel Alphabet: "G" for "Grace"

“G”—Grace:

We need to consistently learn and teach the Gospel because a Gospel-centered focus leads us to a Grace-centered focus.

When we drift from the Gospel, we lapse into either “antinomianism” (the erroneous thought there is no need for the law in the Christian life) or legalism (the erroneous thought that it is through my obedience to the law that I earn favor).

Let us then ever study the glorious Gospel that we may stand fast in the true grace of God (1 Pet 5:12) and may indeed “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forevermore” (2 Pet 3:18).
