Rejoicing in the Promises of Grace, Part IV

God's grace is a mystery to us. It is partially revealed through the Bible and through our own experience of salvation. It increases inthe life of the committed Christian through what we usually call the process of sanctification. Grace is unmeasured, unending, and--most of all--undeserved by us. But do we really know and appreciate what it is that God has showered on us so lavishly? Our devotions for the next few weeks will explore the wonderful treasure of God's grace and what it means to live in the grip of so great a love. These thoughts will be drawn from my book The Promises of Grace (Baker, 1992, 2001), which offers an in-depth, personal study of Romans chapter 8--a section of Scripture that is foundational for our thinking about grace. (Similar themes are covered in the free CD Studies in Romans, featuring my Bible teaching and Scripture readings by Max McLean.)

I pray that God will use these reflections to give you a new understanding of and appreciation for the power of his grace at work in your life.
