The compilation centres on God’s grace – a sweet word subject to varying interpretations. According to gotquestions.com, grace is an essential part of God’s character, closely related to His benevolence, love and mercy. Grace is also one of the most abused words in Christendom. For instance, some believers promote the idea that God’s grace is a license to do whatever they like. These are the hyper-grace crowd. Is grace really a license for us to commit sin as we desire?
Jude addressed this in his epistle: “For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of God into licentiousness and deny our only Master, the Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 1:4). I understand grace to be divine enablement to overcome sin. What is your own understanding of the word? As you go through these quotes, we pray that God would open your eyes to the truth and shield you from the counterfeit grace the enemy is peddling through his human agents.
